Marcus Smart showed off his playmaking skills against the Magic

Across nearly six full seasons in the NBA, Marcus Smart has played roughly a fourth of his minutes at the point guard position. He’s never been a primary facilitator with no more than 4.8 assists per game in any season. Only seven times in his career has he passed 10 assists in a single game.

Boston’s 122-119 victory over Orlando on Sunday was one of the rare times Smart looked comfortable setting up shots for others. He finished with a team-high nine assists to just one turnover in 31 minutes of action.

Some of those nine certainly stretched the definition of a textbook dime, where the recipient seemed to do more of the grunt work to set up a made basket.
