Rondo Says He's "Fine" After Brutal Hit
BOSTON (WBZ) ―
"I'm fine."
That's what Celtics guard Rajon Rondo said one day after he was slammed onto the floor by Hawks forward Marvin Williams during the third quarter of Game 7.
"I didn't get any treatment… My body's fine right now," Rondo said during practice on Monday.
The fall did look painful, but Rondo said no damage was done. He did say he might ice up as a precaution before Tuesday night's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, though.
As a result of Sunday's foul, Williams was thrown out of the game. He later apologized to Rondo.
According to Williams, he has no bad blood against the guard. "I saw it on TV and it did look pretty bad, so I can't argue at all. I just want Rondo to know that I would never try to hurt him."
Celtics Coach Doc Rivers vouched for Williams. "Two good kids playing hard," he said.
After the foul, Rondo hit both free throws, the Celtics got the ball and Ray Allen, who hadn't made a basket since the first quarter, hit a 3-pointer to make it a 28-point game.
