Another game, and another fight to the finish for Boston. Heading into the fourth, the Hawks were up 73-70, and Paul Millsap looked unstoppable. Enter Marcus Smart aka “Cobra”. Brad Stevens put the second year guard on Millsap in the fourth, and he did not regret the decision. As you’ll see in the vid below, Marcus put a halt to Millsap’s parade to the bucket, thus helping Boston hold off the Hawks in OT, 104-95.
Smart was also big on the offensive end, burying two huge treys late in the contest. TK has Cobra’s highlights as well as vid of “The Little Guy”. IT hit the dagger three in overtime to guarantee there will be more basketball played at TD Garden this year. And let’s hope the C’s can win these next 2 out of 3 so that we’ll be playing into May & maybe beyond….
