Key Moment

Minnesota’s youth had its way against the Celtics’ defense throughout Monday night’s contest in Minneapolis, but Boston's young gun, Marcus Smart wanted to silence their collective effort in one fell swoop.

Trailing 124-122 with 5.3 seconds remaining in the game, Boston had a chance to pull off a miraculous comeback, as they had trailed by 10 points just a minute and 10 seconds earlier.

Smart received the baseline inbound pass from Jae Crowder and stormed up the right side of the court with his mind set on nothing but the win.
