Smart (ribs) scored 11 points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT) to go with five assists, three rebounds, and two blocks across 33 minutes during the Celtics' 111-103 win over the Hawks on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Smart suffered a bruised rib during Game 2, which may have played a part in Celtics' coach Brad Stevens' decision to bring him off the bench for Game 3. However, it's also possible Stevens was looking to inject some offensive firepower into a starting five that mustered up seven points in the first quarter of Game 2. Even if it is off the bench, Smart seems likely to continue to playing through his pain while receiving plenty of minutes.
