While the Celtics were in control against the Hawks, Marcus Smart almost ruined everything…
With less than 90 seconds remaining, last season’s best defender attacked Trae Young, even to the point of sending him to the ground. Fortunately, the coaching staff and teammates of the two players quickly ended their clash, but it was not without consequences for the Celtics as Marcus Smart was sent off, and Trae Young put in two pitches to bring the Hawks back. at -6 at 1 min 25 from the end. Fortunately, this will be of no consequence for the Celtics.
But why did Marcus Smart get angry with Trae Young? A priori, he accuses him of having let his foot drag on his lay-up, and of having touched him in his private parts. The gesture seems involuntary, but Marcus Smart comes to say a few words to him, then the two end up on the ground. ” I just saw them both fall to the ground, insulting each other.” says Al Horford. “We were all there trying to limit the damage. »
As for the referees, we had initially whistled a simple fault by Marcus Smart, then after watching the video, we decided to expel him for ” grabbing then throwing to the ground Young“.
The Hawks point guard gets away with a technical foul for ” pointing the finger at Smart“.
