The league-leading Celtics picked up an impressive win on Tuesday night in Los Angeles, coming from behind on the second night of a back-to-back to beat the Lakers in overtime. The most important play of the night may have been one Marcus Smart made off the court, though.
In the closing seconds of overtime, as the Celtics were trying to secure the victory, Smart was subbed out of the game and disappeared through the tunnel. Was he injured? Would the Celtics be forced to try to stop the Lakers on a key possession without their defensive player? No, Smart returned shortly thereafter and the Celtics closed out the game without incident.
So where did Smart go? As he told reporters after the game, he needed to excuse himself briefly to go vomit.
