When asked what it will take to outlast the 76ers in Game 7 and advance, Marcus Smart leaned on a mindset he’s tried to embody throughout his career.
“Heart,” Smart told reporters. “Just who wants it more.”
Heading into Sunday’s 3:30 p.m. clash at TD Garden, Smart said there are no secrets anymore. Everyone knows everyone, it’s a zero-zero series, and all it takes is one game.
“It’s going to be a bloodfest,” Smart said.
Smart said playoff series’ are all about adjustments and thinking two or three steps ahead like one would in a chess match.
