Marcus Smart gave his team an earful in the locker room Sunday night.
“I hate losing. I probably hate losing more than I love winning,” Smart said to NBC Sports after Tuesday’s practice. “Especially with the team that we have and the potential that we have, we shouldn’t be losing games that we know we should win. Let alone, getting down 20 early and putting more pressure on ourselves and more stress on ourselves to come back.”
The Celtics lost to the Trail Blazers 100-94 on Sunday, closing out their five-game road trip at 1-4.
