Celtics guard Marcus Smart (22 points) was interviewed following Boston’s 126-122 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night. The Celtics trailed as many as 15 points late in the third quarter and surged back in their first double-digit comeback win of the season as their win streak grows to seven.
On what shifted the energy in the game, Marcus Smart said “Payton Pritchard and Derrick White … The first team was a little sluggish. We tried. We was giving it everything we got and just couldn’t find it. And then those two came in and gave us the jump we needed. The energy definitely shifted with those two guys coming into the game.”
