Lots of screaming, items being thrown in Celtics locker room following Game 2 implosion
According to multiple reporters in the Bubble there were some fireworks in the Celtics locker room following their Game 2 loss. Marcus Smart was definiely involved, but reports are he wans't the only one screaming. Items were also reportedly thrown. Well I guess at least that's the passion that we've been waiting for. The Heat have brought it to the court, so hopefully the Celtics do the same in Game 3.
There were loud clanks — like someone throwing items — coming from the Celtics’ locker room. https://t.co/0D9SokSr5u
