When the Los Angeles Lakers signed Marcus Smart, they knew they were bringing in someone that can set the tone defensively and bring some much-needed toughness to the roster.
He did exactly that in their win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday. Smart was taking charges, creating turnovers and diving for loose balls all night.
Smart only had three points, one assists and two steals in 21 minutes of action, but he arguably made as big of an impact as anyone, as evidenced by him having the best plus/minus in the game at +24.
