Marcus Smart watched the opening game of the Eastern Conference finals from the bench and didn't like what he witnessed.
Smart liked his view much better on Thursday, when he electrified Boston with a superb all-around effort as the Celtics rolled to a 127-102 victory over the host Miami Heat, evening the series at one win apiece.
Smart returned from a one-game absence caused by a right foot injury and contributed 24 points, 12 assists, nine rebounds and three steals in 40 minutes. Smart also made five 3-pointers to help the Celtics avenge their Game 1 setback.
