The Bucks appeared to intentionally foul Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo late in a game on Tuesday night, giving birth to 'Hack-A-Rondo.'

Rondo entered the game against Milwaukee shooting just 40.6% from the foul line and Charlie Bell wrapped him up with 4:41 remaining in the fourth quarter.

He hit both free throws and the Celtics led for the remainder of the game.

"Tonight was the first time I saw 'Hack-a-Rondo,' " Celtics coach Doc Rivers said after the game. "With five minutes left, that was an intentional foul. And he made them. Thank God, you know? He's driving. Early on [this season], I thought he was driving and avoiding contact. He's driving now. He's getting to the basket.

"I told him at halftime, 'Just keep attacking,' and that's what he's doing. The one thing about Rondo -- and this is why you know the shots will go in eventually -- he does believe they're going to go in. He has no problem getting fouled with two minutes or a minute or 30 seconds left and going to the line. And he's going to get fouled more, that's going to happen. So it's really important, obviously, for your point guard to make the free throws. And he's going to do that. He's starting to now."
