Game Analysis: Celtics ride Smart's hot hand in 102-99 win against Raptors

The Boston Celtics pulled out a massive 102-99 win in game 2 of their Eastern Conference Semis matchup with Toronto. This came in large part due to the stellar 3-point shooting from Larry Bird… err, I mean Marcus Smart who caught fire in the 4th quarter. With this win they take a commanding 2-0 lead in the series, although they still have plenty of work to do. The game had its ups and downs, and with it there’s a lot the Celtics have to work with going into game 3.

Good: Marcus “Curry” Smart

The strides that Marcus has made as a shooter have been so crucial to the overall performance of this team.
