Isaiah Thomas' preschool sons, James and Jaiden, Shin-Soo Choo Jerseydid their best to sit quietly during his postgame news conference on Sunday before the elder tyke leaned over the microphone and said, ''my daddy ... is the best basketball player.''

Well, he's the biggest reason the Boston Celtics have tied their playoff series with the Atlanta Hawks at two games apiece, at least.

One game http://www.officialmlbrangersshop.com/authentic-11-yu-darvish-jersey.htmlafter scoring a career-high 42 points - and one day after escaping suspension for taking a swipe at Atlanta's Dennis Schroder - Thomas scored 28, including the last five of overtime to lead Boston to a 104-95 victory in Game 4 of the best-of-seven series.

Game 5 is Tuesday night in Atlanta.

Paul Millsap scored 45 for the Hawks - a career playoff high and one off his all-time best http://www.officialmlbrangersshop.com/authentic-29-adrian-beltre-jersey.html- and added 13 rebounds. The Hawks were 0-5 in overtime in the regular season and have not won an overtime game in more than two years.

Marcus Smart scored 20, including 11 straight points for Boston in the fourth quarter. He also held Millsap to just two baskets in the final nine minutes of regulation and none in overtime.

''You're throwing darts Mark Buehrle Jerseya little bit with a guy that's rolling like that,'' Celtics coach Brad Stevens said. ''He was scoring in so many different ways.''

Thomas also guarded Jeff Teague on the final play of regulation, preventing him from getting a shot off, and blocked Millsap with 63 seconds left in overtime and the Hawks trailing by only four points. Thomas followed it up with a corner 3-pointer and then a pair of free throws to clinch it.

''Isaiah did a heck of a job, the way they were guarding him, still being able to penetrate http://www.officialbluejaysstore.com/authentic-66-munenori-kawasaki-jersey.htmland find guys,'' Smart said. ''I was one of the guys on the end of that. When I was that wide open and Isaiah doing all that work, I had to make the shot.''

Thomas had six assists and Jonas Jerebko had 16 points and 10 rebounds for the Celtics, who lost the opening two games in Atlanta and then won the two in Boston.

''They responded to being down 2-0,'' Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer said. ''Now we've got to go home and respond.''
