“I make winning plays, get used to them!”: Celtics’ Marcus Smart fires back after being accused of making dirty plays on Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson

Celtics’ Marcus Smart replies to all the people raging about him getting Stephen Curry injured with a dirty play

The clash between the Celtics and the Warriors was feisty, to say the least. With the Eastern Conference giants strangling the free-flowing offense of the Warriors, it was not a surprise that the Celtics ended up winning the game 110-88. While the win by the Celtics was convincing, many NBA fans have been critical of one player, Marcus Smart.

Smart, who is one of the best defensive guards in the game, had a job at his hand as he was guarding the Splash Brothers Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. The 28-year-old might have done a great job in the night, but his ways were nonetheless questionable.

While many Dubs’ fans might be salty with Smart’s plays, the 28-year-old to be fair had a game to remember with his defensive display. Not only that, he also chipped in with 20 points for his team helping them to a 110-88 victory.
