Rajon Rondo has made dozens of last-second dashes to the basket. This time, he went in the opposite direction. The Boston Celtics point guard ran into the backcourt, grabbed the inbounds pass in stride, avoided a foul and dribbled out the final 3.4 seconds to clinch Boston’s 92-91 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night in the opener of their Eastern Conference semifinal series. “I feel like I could out-quick him. That’s what I did,” Rondo said. “We knew they had a foul to give. I told [Coach] Doc [Rivers] to get me the ball and I could use my speed.”
