"And that's what it's all about".
Rajon Rondo is positive that not only would the Chicago Bulls be playing in the second round of the National Basketball Association playoffs, but they would also have swept the Boston Celtics in four games to get there if he had been on the court.
Now, there's just one sour narrative still lingering - that being that the Celtics can win in Washington.
It marked the fourth time in the series that one team has had a run of at least 16-0, including three times in the first quarter.
"He put his injuries aside and laced his shoes up and played", teammate Isaiah Thomas said of Bradley. Horford also chipped in 9 assists and 3 blocks as he controlled things on both ends.
Bradley hit his last basket with 5:55 left in the third quarter and was rested in the fourth. Avery Bradley led the scoring with 29 points on 12 of 19 shooting, Al Horford added 19 points on eight of nine shooting with seven assists, while Isaiah Thomas and Jae Crowder added 18 points each.
Staring in the face of elimination, the Wizards return home down 3-2 in the series.

They combined for 48 points on just 28 shots. "We were letting guys cut through the lane without touching them", Morris said.
"We had no answers for those guys". That's not good enough to win.
If the Celtics win today, they would open against Cleveland on Monday.
Meanwhile Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers await the victor of the series resting at home after back to back 4 game sweeps.
Meanwhile, the Wizards will be disappointed that they could never really find their footing in that ugly Game 5. The incident happened as the Wizards were whipping Boston to tie the Eastern Conference semifinals at two games apiece.
Thomas scored 53 points in a game-two Boston victory but has been contained in the past two contests by Wizards defenders. The Celtics might be a little cautious and hold him out of Thursday's practice, but there's no reason to think he won't be ready to go for Game 6 on Friday as the Celtics look to finish off the Wizards on the road. May. Either the Celtics or Wizards will advance to face the defending NBA champion Cleveland Cavaliers in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference finals with that victor advancing to next month's NBA Finals.
