Cleveland\u00a0would then take the ball and give it to Deron Williams who found Irving to tie the game with 10.7 seconds\u00a0remaining. This would set up the clutch game-winning\u00a0by Avery Bradley with just 0.1 seconds to go in regulation as seen below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KenCarman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@KenCarman<\/a> Without their best player in Isaiah down 21  <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Celtics?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Celtics<\/a> rally back and Bradley with game winning 3!  <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/g0SjkMFEQe\">pic.twitter.com\/g0SjkMFEQe<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Andrew Walters (@Walbevo) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Walbevo\/status\/866499632028831744?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 22, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.25in;line-height:18pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:10.5pt;font-family:'Verdana', sans-serif;color:#222222;\">With the absence of Isiah Thomas, Marcus Smart stepped it up player one of his best games of the season finishing with 27 points, 7 assists, and 5 rebounds.
