BOSTON – The Celtics won, but they suffered a big loss. Rookie phenom Marcus Smart was his usual aggressive self when he drove hard in transition. But an unfortunate landing spot on one of his strides had him roll his ankle as he pushed off to elevate. This caused an excruciatingly painful ankle sprain that initially looked like a break or tear.
The Garden Report reacted to the events that unfolded and reflected on the win. They discussed Jared Sullinger’s matchup against Roy Hibbert, Phil Pressey’s first big minutes and Rajon Rondo vs. Chris Copeland.
