Thomas putting his teeth into Celtics' playoff run

BOSTON - Isaiah Thomas looks unstoppable this postseason - no matter what.

In an emotional haze, the All-Star point guard led the Celtics to a first-round win over Chicago after learning the day before that series began that his younger sister, Chyna Thomas, had died in a car accident outside of his native Tacoma, Washington.

The pain persisted on the eve of Boston's second-round pairing with the Washington Wizards, when Thomas flew cross-country to attend his sister's funeral.
