Watch: Thomas bamboozles Canaan with hesitation dribble

Isaiah Thomas had a runway to the rim cleared for him by namesake and positional counterpart Isaiah Canaan in the first quarter of Game 5 on Wednesday night.

The Celtics point guard hit Canaan with a pretty deceptive hesitation dribble at the 3-point line, and Canaan did the rest: jumping clean out of the way to cede the lane and, ultimately, two free throws.
