How Marcus Smart Took His Game to the Next Level

The Boston Celtics have once again dismantled a high-caliber opponent in the Utah Jazz, blowing out the visitors 125-97 at TD Garden on Wednesday night.

Against the Jazz, Marcus Smart notched a game and career-high 13 assists.

The Garden Report crew sounds off on his outstanding performance.
