Marcus Smart: Plays 33 minutes in Game 6 loss

The Marcus Smart roller coaster received extra run during this lopsided loss on
Cleveland. With Boston trailing for the last three quarters, coach Brad Stevens
turned to Smart and Marcus Morris for major minutes, hoping to spark a comeback
run that never quite materialized. Smart was his usual erratic self, with a
breathtaking block of a LeBron James dunk attempt, three ugly turnovers,
questionable shot selection, but eight impressive, team-leading assists. Smart
and his teammates now return to Boston for a battle royale, winner-take-all Game
7 on the parquet floor. Look for Smart to again receive monster minutes for the
injury decimated Celtics.
