During the Boston Celtics‘ 107 – 97 win over the New Orleans Pelicans at Smoothie King Center this past Saturday night, the guys in green and white were hearing it from a courtside fan near their bench. According to Celtics guard Marcus Smart, it wasn’t playful talk, either.
“It was a fan heckling us, giving us a hard time, which I don’t understand, we’re up. So part of it, we just ask that you keep it strictly basketball. When you start trying to make it personal, that’s kind of where the problems come in,” Smart opined while speaking to the press after the much-needed road victory.
The Celtics trailed by as many as 2 points in the game. They led by as many as 20 points, and held an 18-point advantage at intermission.
