Marcus Smart sported blinged out sneakers, a blue tuxedo jacket, and a dollar sign braided into his hair in his first appearance in the Garden since suffering his partially torn oblique muscle. You couldn’t miss him on the sidelines and while he’s sorely missed on the floor, his teammates paid homage to Smart with winning play after winning play in a 99-91 win vs. the Pacers in Game 2.
Some of the Game 1 comeback can be attributed to the Pacers missing open shots, but on Wednesday night, the Celtics not only had to match Indiana shot-for-shot, but they had to tap into Smart’s bag of tricks to take Game 2.
