Boston Celtics fans would not expect anything less from the heart and soul of the team.

During Wednesday night’s Game 2 against the Brooklyn Nets, Celtics guard Marcus Smart did what he usually does on defense, dove for a loose ball. However, he came up grimacing, clutching his left hand.

During a timeout, Smart was attended to by a member of the team medical staff. The Celtics guard did not leave the game and came out of the huddle showed no sign slowing down.

Smart followed up his apparent injury scare making a free throw, a 3-pointer and a contested layup.

It was typical Smart as he showed once again why he’s one of the grittiest players in the NBA.
