Isaiah Thomas gets 53 points for the Boston Celtics in an all-time performance

Boston Celtics fans hold Isaiah Thomas, nicknamed "The King in the Fourth," in exceptionally high regard due to his tremendous heart despite being an undersized guard.

A defining moment occurred during the 2017 NBA Playoffs when Thomas scored 53 points against the Washington Wizards. This extraordinary performance came immediately after he underwent extensive dental work to repair teeth broken in Game 1 of the series and followed closely the tragic death of his sister, Chyna, in a car accident.

The "NBC Sports Boston" YouTube channel compiled a clip of this historic Celtics moment. The article encourages viewers to watch it for nostalgia or first-time viewing, promising it will be particularly worthwhile.
