Judge agrees to toss Aaron Hernandez's murder conviction

How Celtics Are Finding Their Playoff Identity Amid Comeback Vs. Bulls
- May 10, 2017
That night, Thomas' reaction was basically to laugh and shrug. Rondo broke his thumb in a Game 2 win on April 18, the second straight victory for the Bulls to start the series. After shooting 23 free throws in Game 4, Butler shot just one in Game 5. A miss followed from Paul Millsap, who had 21 points and 11 rebounds, but after Wall's jumper was off the mark, the Hawks seemed to waste too much time at the other end and the buzzer sounded.
