Boston Celtics veteran defensive nightmare Marcus Smart may not have found success on offense against the long and big Philadelphia 76ers starters, but he didn’t let that get in the way of his domination of that team on the other side of the ball in their 2020 first round series with the Sixers.
Despite shooting just 33.3% from the floor in the series, Smart got himself to the line 3.3 times per game in that series, where he converted at an outstanding 92.3% of his shots from the charity stripe.
He also pulled down 4.5 boards and made 2.5 assists per game to go with his 8.5 points and 1.5 steals per game.
Most important are the hustle plays that don’t end up in the box score, and in the bubble Marcus Smart has been making them in droves.
If you want to reminisce a little while we wait for the team’s second round series with the defending champion Toronto Raptors, or just happen to be a fan of the Flower Mound native’s game, watch the video embedded above for all of Smart’s best plays from their first round series against the 76ers.
