Marcus Smart reveals the secret ingredient of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown’s successful duo-ship, ahead of Game 5

You cannot take your eyes of the drama in this fiery bout between the Champions of the East and the Conquerors of the West, and Marcus Smart is loving the challenges that come with it. Game 4 of the NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics was essentially a heavyweight brawl for 48 minutes with both sides landing big blows throughout. However, in the end, it was Stephen Curry and the Warriors who made just enough plays to come away with a 107-97 victory to even this series at 2-2 and keep their championship aspirations alive.

It wasn’t a night Boston wanted as Poole found his groove, Klay made a comeback, and Curry, well he being the Chef has deep Celtics in his flaming 3’s. Stephen Curry and Golden State Warriors were in a must-win situation in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. But playing in front of TD garden against young and hungry Boston Celtics players was never an easy task. Andrew Wiggins had a monster game of his own with 17 points and 16 rebounds. Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole also did their part combining for 32 points. They are pumped up for the NBA Finals, they want that 4th Ring.

and Jaylen Brown led the charge for Boston but their respective efforts weren’t enough for the Celtics to match Curry’s massive night. Jayson dropped 23 points while Jaylen Brown added 21 as Boston fell to the Warriors. When a game is within five points with five minutes or less remaining, that’s defined as clutch time, and the Warriors outscored the Celtics 15-0 in those minutes in Game 4. That is the highest differential in a Finals game in the last 25 years.

“We matured in that aspect.” – Marcus Smart reveals the patience Boston players have developed this season

The Celtics weren’t viewed as title contenders when Marcus Smart shockingly called out All-Star teammates Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown for refusing to pass the ball after a November loss to the Bulls. Marcus Smart, has now transformed into a indispensable unit in this well-oiled machine of Boston Celtics. He is without a doubt one of the most important players on this roster, the Defensive Player Of The Year, and they probably would not be where they are now, in which the Celtics coach has played a monumental role, as he has with the star duo of Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum.

“I’ll probably have to say I think everyone will agree with it, is the selflessness that they matured to having. You know, early on, as young guys, it’s not just them, it’s any young guys, you’re trying to make a name for yourself, you’re trying to prove what you got, and that doesn’t always lineup to what the team is trying to do or helping a team.”

“For us, you know, it was understanding that if we win, everybody wins. And I think, this year, in particular more than note, we understood that we matured in that aspect.” Smart said the star duo has been selfless this campaign, which has helped the Celtics be in the position they find themselves in.

Boston has a well-rounded and well-coached team led by their Big 3 of Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Marcus Smart. These three have evolved together in the past couple of seasons and now are ready to take that final step and win it all in a very difficult Finals matchup. It took the Boston Celtics a while to build their rhythm and have their two stars learn to involve their teammates. 

It was Jayson Tatum’s playmaking, a much-improved skill we’ve seen from him this season, that led to open 3s in the corners for Boston. You could see all the improvements these core guys, including Marcus Smart, have been working on over the years paying off in the biggest game of their careers, in the NBA Finals.

Splash brother draining 3’s to the Celtics outclassing them in the next, it has been going back and forth for the first 4 games of the NBA Finals. The Boston Celtics’ ‘Big 3’ have been marvelous so far, as Tatum, Brown, and Smart became the first trio of teammates to have at least 20 points, five assists, and five rebounds in an NBA Finals game since 1984, in their Game 3 victory against the Warriors. With the 2022 NBA Finals being tied at 2-2, will the Warriors finally take the lead in this series? Will Celtics once again stamp their authority on road in Game 5? Or will Golden State elaborate upon their improved trajectory? Sit back and enjoy !
