Brad Stevens on Marcus Smart and Aron Baynes: ‘Those are our splash brothers’

Watch out, Steph and Klay.

On Monday night, Marcus Smart and Aron Baynes connected on four and two 3-pointers, respectively, to help propel the Celtics over the Brooklyn Nets, 112-104, at TD Garden. The two have each put forth career-best percentages from beyond the arc, providing Boston with additional methods of attack on the offensive end.

Postgame, head coach Brad Stevens spoke of their improvement shooting the ball, noting that the two have put an emphasis on that aspect of the game during practice.

“Those are our splash brothers,” Stevens said. “Baynes probably puts up as many attempts in practice as anybody on our team so it’s good to see those go down.
