Marcus Smart on scuffle with JR Smith: 'Ain't no punk right here'

The Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers played Saturday night in a preseason rematch of last season's Eastern Conference finals, and it wasn't long before some of last season's postseason animosity emerged.

With 3:38 left in the first quarter, a scuffle broke out between the teams that resulted in the ejection of Celtics guard Marcus Smart.

Cavaliers guard JR Smith and Celtics forward Aron Baynes became entangled in the paint late in the first, locking elbows and shoving each other.

Smart then got involved, coming toward Smith and pushing him.
