Jayson Tatum needed a sidekick last night during his 50-point performance in the Boston’s Game 3 victory over the Brooklyn Nets, 125-119, and that’s exactly what Marcus Smart provided.

Smart finished the game with 23 points, 3 rebounds, and 6 assists on an efficient 8-of-11 shooting from the field and 5-of-8 from downtown.

Down the stretch of the fourth quarter, Smart hit a driving double-pump floater over former Celtic Kyrie Irving to put Boston up 12 with just over 3:00 remaining.

Smart’s versatility on both ends of the floor will continue to be an important factor for Boston if they want to tie this series up in Game 4.

Watch the highlights of Smart’s 23-point, 6 assist performance against the Nets in the video embedded above put together by YouTuber Tomasz Kordylweski.
