With 20 seconds left in Saturday's disappointing loss to the Brooklyn Nets, Marcus Smart showed why Celtics fans are so excited about his future. Boston was down by five, without the ball, and without much hope of winning the game. Insert Marcus Smart.
The play begins with Shane Larkin trying to hit a streaking Donald Sloan. Smart breaks instinctively before the ball even leaves Larkin's hands. He steals the pass, then finds Crowder before falling out of bounds. The Celtics eventually score on this possession, cutting the lead to 3. But Smart wasn't finished there.
