Smart, who has struggled with his shot all season, is finally heating up as the Celtics fight for playoff seeding, CSNNE’s A. Sherrod Blakely reports.

Over the past three games, Smart is shooting 41.7 percent from three and 52.2 percent overall. His four made threes versus Atlanta Saturday hopefully will boost Smart’s confidence heading into the playoffs. Smart is shooting 36.8 percent from three in April, relative to the lowly 25.5 percent he’s been shooting from three all season.
