The Big Four Makes a Run
Date: 2011-12 season
No longer merely a Big Three, the Celtics enjoyed the play of Rajon Rondo, who had developed into a two-time All-Star heading into the 2011-12 season and would earn another nod in that campaign. In the 2012 NBA Playoffs, the Celtics eliminated the Atlanta Hawks and Philadelphia 76ers before matching up with the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals. Boston’s Big Four put up a valiant effort but dropped the final two contests of the seven-game series to the eventual NBA World Champions.
