BOSTON – With Patrick Beverley staring him down on a fast break, Boston guard Marcus Smart made an unconventional choice during the third quarter of Boston's 134-112 win over the Timberwolves.
Instead of trying to shoot it or try a bounce pass to a trailing Jaylen Brown, Smart tried another option — throwing the ball off the backboard.
Smart's pass hit Brown mid-jump and Brown threw the alley-oop down without any trouble at all for a 22-point Celtics lead.
