Isaiah Thomas and Dennis Schroder went toe-to-toe with one another the entire series, and the Boston Celtics' All-Star guard made sure to get the last word in before his side were eliminated by the Atlanta Hawks in Game 6 on Thursday.

With the seconds counting down, Thomas was caught exchanging words with Schroder as he walked off the court.

The two were involved in several physical moments throughout the series. Thomas avoided suspension for smacking Schroder in the head with his arm in Game 3. Thomas claimed the hit was completely unintentional.

"I didn't mean to hit him in the head," Thomas said following the game. "So he got mad. He was talking. But it's playoff basketball. That's what it's about. I'm not going to back down from anybody and he knows that."

The pair would later be hit with technical fouls after pushing one another and Schroder received a Flagrant 1 for a hard foul on Thomas.
