Bass Is A Big Fish

From Elias: Brandon Bass led all players with 27 points in the Celtics' Game 5 win over the Sixers. This was the first time in his NBA career - regular season or playoffs - that Bass was the outright leader in points in a game for both teams. That includes 395 regular season games and 39 playoff games. Bass tied for the game-high in points three times in his career, all in the regular season.

Bass stepping up

Brandon Bass is averaging 21 points in his last two games with the Celtics outscoring the 76ers by 19 points with him on the court. After playing just 3 seconds in the fourth quarter of the Game 4 loss, Bass was on the court for 37 minutes in Game 5.

Boston dunking

The Celtics had six dunks in Game 5, three by Brandon Bass and five were assisted by Rondo. It was the most dunks in a postseason game for the Celtics since they had six in the 2008 Eastern Conference Finals against Detroit. Rondo's five assists on dunks are a playoff career-high and are tied for the most in a game in the last five postseasons.

NBA - Bass scores 27

From Elias: Brandon Bass spent last season in Orlando. According to Elias, Bass is just the 6th Celtics player to score 27+ points in a playoff game after playing for a different team the prior season. The only player on the list with multiple 27+ point games is Kevin Garnett, who recorded 3 such games in the 2008 playoffs.

NBA - Bass most points in a quarter

Brandon Bass: 18 points in 3rd quarter (most he's ever scored in a regular season or postseason quarter). His previous high was 16 points in the 2nd quarter against the Kings on Feb. 21, 2009, as a member of the Mavericks.
