Rajon Rondo played with one arm, Shaquille O&8217;Neal actually played basketball and Kevin Garnett submitted a vintage performance &8212; and it all added up to a gritty 97-81 Celtics victory in what was essentially a must-win Game 3 against the Heat in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

In a scary third-quarter moment, Rondo got tangled up with Dwyane Wade and dislocated his elbow. After receiving treatment, he shockingly returned for the fourth quarter &8212; finishing with 11 assists and six points with essentially one arm. Meanwhile, Shaq scored just two points in eight minutes.
