In the regular season the day before, the Celtics lost 114-128 at home to the Bulls. After the game, Celtic guard Marcus Smart angrily sprayed teammates Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown: "Every team's scouting report is forcing them to pass, but they don't want to pass, that's what they have to learn." ”
Speaking about Smart's remarks after today's Celtics' 92-79 away win, Brown said: "Obviously, in the process of trying to win, it's probably something we don't need. But we all communicate and talk to each other. When my teammates mention anything to me or to the coaching staff, I listen. ”
