Sources: Boston Celtics hold players-only meeting in wake of Marcus Smart's comments, collapse vs. Bulls

The Boston Celtics had a players-only meeting ahead of Wednesday's 92-79 win in Orlando over the Magic, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The meeting came in the wake of Boston's fourth-quarter meltdown Monday against the Chicago Bulls, as Boston went from being up 14 at the start of the fourth to losing by 14 -- and dropping to 2-5 on the season -- thanks to Chicago outscoring Boston 39-11 on its home floor.

Celtics guard Marcus Smart then said during his postgame media session that the team's two young All-Stars, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, need to pass the ball more.
