Rajon Rondo's recent struggles have been well documented. While he dished out eight assists, he didn't score a point or grab a rebound in Wednesday's game.
“Rondo’s playing hurt,” said teammate Kevin Garnett. “He’s hurting. He’s giving us everything he has. He’s grinding. He’s playing countless minutes for us, and he’s not playing like a washed-up guy.”
Asked if he thought it was Rondo’s tweaked ankle that was giving the point guard problems lately, Garnett responded, “I don’t know. You’d have to talk to him.”
