The Read & React: Celtics’ offensive offense

Andrew Doxy: Tonight was a big game for Marcus Smart despite this being a really bad game for everyone overall. After a quiet first quarter, Smart spent a lot of his possessions driving to the basket. He had a few good moves (including that ridiculously smooth spin into the air ball), and he attacked mismatches. As I’ve said every time Smart has a bad game, if he could just have this mentality to drive to the rim every night, he’d be even more valuable. That was the leap I was hoping he’d make this season, but unfortunately, he hasn’t been consistent.
