Ish Smith put the Wizards on his back Monday night and received MVP chants from the crowd as a result of it. In Washington’s 99-94 win over the Boston Celtics, the point guard put 27 points on 12-of-18 shooting. In addition, he grabbed 4 rebounds and dished out 4 assists. This performance comes right after his career-high 32 point performance against the Denver Nuggets on Jan. 4.
Head Coach Scott Brooks had nothing but great things to say about Smith after the game.
“If it were a two-game season, I would have to agree with the crowd: MVP,” said Brooks.
