The king of hustle was in full effect on Friday night, as the Boston Celtics defeated the Sixers for the third straight game. With the Celtics struggling to get their offense going, Marcus Smart took it upon himself to drive the Celtics forward.
No, this wasn’t one of those games where the 26-year-old guard shot lights out from deep. So far in the playoffs, Smart is shooting 29.2%, nearly as bad as the Sixers shot in Game 3. No, this performance was vintage Smart, with his heart and hustle on full display throughout the night.
