Boston Celtics’ Isaiah Thomas is proving to be the MVP of this year’s 2017 NBA Playoffs. Tuesday night, the 5’9″ point guard put up 53 points in a close overtime game against the Washington Wizards to give his team a 2-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Although John Wall’s Washington Wizards put up a good fight against the Celtics, they proved to be no match for Thomas’ overly-aggressive game. The Celtics went on to win 129-119 in overtime on the day that would’ve been Thomas’ sister Chyna’s 23rd birthday. He credited her entirely for his stellar playoff performance. Thomas told ESPN.com:

“It just wasn’t a good day for me with it being my sister’s birthday, me being in the hospital for three or four hours today. I just didn’t have the energy. But once I got around the guys, got to the arena, I felt like I could go. And I told coach Brad Stevens I could. There was no way I couldn’t play on Chyna’s birthday. I wanted to win for her. I wanted to play well for her.”

Definitely a huge night for Isaiah Thomas’ professional career. Watch some footage of Isaiah Thomas going H.A.M. (H.ard A.s a M.otherf*ck%r) during the game and post-game footage via NBA‘s official Twitter account below. Let’s go Boston Celtics!
