The Boston Celtics blitzed the Miami Heat in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals, securing a huge road win as the series heads back to the Hub. The Celtics with more poise, energy, and focus than they did in Game 1. Boston welcomed back both Al Horford and Marcus Smart to the action, no doubt a huge boost to the team’s confidence and play-making. Smart in particular was the quarterback the Celtics desperately needed at the point guard position.
Smart’s return gave Boston’s offense a new purpose, but that doesn’t mean the veteran guard didn’t provide his own scoring punch. He finished with 24 points, nine rebounds, twelve assists, and three steals.
One play, in particular, highlighted Smart’s growing dominance as a point guard. In this play here, not only does Marcus Smart have Miami’s Max Strus completely fooled, but the Celtics bench absolutely loved it. Check it out:
