Marcus Smart offered a great quote about his huge block in the Boston Celtics’ series-clinching win over the Toronto Raptors on Friday night.
The Celtics beat the Raptors 92-87 in Game 7 of their Eastern Conference semifinals series. Boston was protecting a two-point lead with around a minute left when the ball was pushed ahead to Norman Powell, who went up for a fast-break layup. Smart made an incredible block on the play to help Boston maintain the lead.
The play showcased the abilities that have made Smart a two-time All-Defensive player in the NBA.
That’s exactly what Smart said after the game.
Smart scored 16 points, but he had three steals and the block to help Boston get the win.
