Rajon Rondo says Celtics 'gave up' during Game 2 loss to Bulls
As the Bulls began to put away the Celtics in the fourth quarter of Tuesday night's Game 2, Rajon Rondo could see the look of defeat in his opponents' eyes. Body language matters in professional sports, and Boston's Avery Bradley admitted that the way his teammates carried themselves was not a good look as Chicago went up 2-0 in the best-of-seven series.
"I looked around and a few times in the game guys were putting their heads down, I think getting down on themselves," Bradley said, via ESPN. "But as a team, we have to stay together. The other team is looking at that. They're using that as motivation for themselves.
"I could even hear Rondo, like, 'Yeah, they gave up. They gave up.' But you never can let a team see that. You have to continue to be positive and go out there and play hard, no matter what the outcome is."
