Celtics G Rajon Rondo did not play last night during the team's season finale against the Wizards at TD Garden, but he was "wearing sneakers to honor the victims" of the Boston Marathon bombings. The shoes "bear the initials of bombing victims," and they "say 'Boston Strong' on the tongue with the date of the bombings – April 15, 2013 – written in numerical form" (MASSLIVE.com, 4/16).
