BOSTON (AP)—Those “MVP! MVP!” chants are usually reserved for LeBron James or one of Boston’s Big Three.
Rajon Rondo earned every one of them Sunday.
The Boston point guard had 29 points, 18 rebounds and 13 assists, and the Celtics beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 97-87 on Sunday to even the Eastern Conference semifinal series at two games apiece.
Still sometimes overlooked among the Celtics’ other All-Stars, Rondo is the reason his team is two wins away from knocking off the East’s No. 1 seed.

(Reuters) - Britain's third largest party has suddenly found itself in the full glare of the political spotlight. It's an uncomfortable, and potentially dangerous, place.
An inconclusive election result last week -- the first such outcome in more than 30 years -- has handed the center-left Liberal Democrats the balance of power.
It should be a moment of triumph for Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg. The Liberal Democrats -- formed from the old Liberal Party, one of the two great political parties of the mid-19th century -- have not had a shot at government for decades
Rhythms of Triplism: The Triple Figures of Romano-Celtic Sculpture
History - Politics
The Three who are over me,
The Three who are below me,
The Three who are above me here,
The Three who are in the earth
The Three who are in the air,
The Three who are in the heaven,
The Three who are in the great pouring sea.
--from the Carmina Gadelica (Sheldrake 80)
Above, below and in the great pouring sea, these Three occur throughout nature, throughout this Celtic culture. The Three who are in the Celtic stone reliefs convey these triadic ideals of a unified visual vocabulary, a consistent narrative and a singular spirituality, seen in nature, revealed in their art. The frequency of the number three as an aesthetic and spiritual structure signifies, through the figures present in art and myth, a correlation between the number three and fertility, protection, and sanctity in nature. In early Celtic Art the human head often appears in a triad, seen in the Glauberg Torc and the Rouillerot Torc, to comprise the decoration, to prefigure the narrative compositions of divine figures in the Romano-Celtic period, and eventually to influence Welsh and Irish literature.
