Rajon Rondo averaged 19 points, 12 assists and 7.3 rebounds during the Celtics' first-round sweep against the Knicks.
Rondo said he struggled late in the regular season because he was injured and his body "wasn't responding the way it always had." He battled a tweaked ankle, throbbing pain in his hands, and plantar fasciitis, but appears to have recovered just in time for Boston's trek into the playoffs.
