ICYMI: Kelly Olynyk Was the Real MVP of the Celtics/Wizards Series Finale

in #sports7 years ago

The Star of this game came from the Celtics' bench to help close out this hard fought Series.

This game started off with both teams giving it their all for the first half of this Series Finale.  But, the game swung in the Celtics' favor after the start of the third quarter.  First, John Wall, the Wizards leading scorer, lost his mojo at the worst possible time.  He was 2 for 13 on Made Field Goal Attempts for the second half of the game.  At the same time, Isaiah Thomas found his rhythm to help the Celtics go on a 18-2 run.  On top of that, Kelly Olynyk stepped up and decided to make this the game of his career with all the amazing shots that he was making.  Gortat, the Wizard's big man, said it best about the way the second half of this game played out. 

Kelly Olynyk's performance shocked even basketball analyst Stephen A. Smith.  I just hope Isaiah, Kelly, and the rest of the Celtics can keep this momentum going since their next opponent is last year's NBA Champions, The Cleveland Cavaliers
