Veteran Boston Celtics point guard Marcus Smart’s scuffle with Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young was enough to get him ejected for the final minute and a half of the Celtics’ road win over the Hawks on Saturday night, but it didn’t seem to bother his teammates too much afterward.
“I just saw them both go down,” explained big man Al Horford via MassLive’s Brian Robb. “Them chirping at each other and going down. All we were doing is try to do damage control and split them up the best we could.” The sentiment seemed to be shared by head coach Joe Mazzulla, who related that “(i)t’s part of it. You have to navigate in the chaos.”
