Marcus Smart on Warriors: “They’re the hunted, we’re the hunters right now”

The Celtics got an early control of the NBA Finals series against the Warriors by winning Game 1 in San Francisco. One of the key factors for Boston was this year’s Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Smart who scored 18 points.

Ahead of Game 2 he was asked about his mindset that keeps him locked in defensively for the entire game. The 28-year-old point guard likened himself to a hunting lion.

“For me I would probably describe it as lion out on the prowl hunting,” Smart said. “Playing against a team, like I said, that’s been here, knows what it takes. They’re the hunted, we’re the hunters right now.

“We’re trying to get to their level, to get to where they’re at. For me I’m just out, I’m stealth, I’m waiting for my time to strike and my opportunity.”
