The Boston Celtics may have made a convincing case they can survive the first round of the 2019 NBA Playoffs without Marcus Smart, but for a few moments in the fourth quarter of last night's win over the Indiana Pacers, it looked like they might have had to give the series a shot without Aron Baynes.
Given the Cs' travails this season while Baynes has been out, that's certainly something they'd prefer to avoid, as the game's outcome was in doubt until Boston put the clamps on in the third quarter, something that would be much harder to pull off with Aron's exceptional defensive skills.
