Isaiah Thomas Loses Tooth During Celtics Victory: Video
You can clearly see one of Thomas' chiclets fly out of his mouth after taking an elbow during Sunday's game.
Sunday's Game 1 victory over Washington in the Eastern Conference semifinals may long be remembered as the Tooth Game.
One of Isaiah Thomas' pearly whites went flying when he took an elbow to the mouth in the middle of the first quarter. He retrieved it, then made a couple of 3-pointers to help spark the Celtics' impressive comeback.

Thomas helped the Celtics close out the Bulls Friday night, flew to the other side of the country for the funeral of his younger sister Chyna, then flew back for Sunday's game in Boston. All he did was score a game-high 33 points for Boston.
