Marcus Smart Putback Dunk Caps 13-4 Run For Celtics In Game 1 Vs. Cavs
BOSTON — One of the greatest strengths Marcus Smart brings to the Boston Celtics is his energy.
That was evident in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals at TD Garden on Wednesday night.
The C’s guard got into a little scuffle with Cleveland Cavaliers forward Tristan Thompson late in the third quarter, with both players picking up a personal foul. Smart then capped a 13-4 run to end the frame with a powerful putback dunk as the Celtics trimmed Cleveland’s lead to 17 to start the fourth quarter.
