In the tail end of the first quarter of the Celtics game against the Cavaliers on Thursday, Brad Stevens rolled out a lineup that included all three of Marcus Smart, Jae Crowder, and Jaylen Brown. The seven minutes they played together brought the season total for the trio up to 119, a number that falls short of even the top 50 three-man combinations Boston has played to date, and while their time together has been brief, it has been highly productive.
For the year, lineups featuring the Smart, Crowder, Brown combination are outscoring opponents by 12.
