The Celtics were not prepared for the defense of the Bucks after their previous series. The song is over at 1:07.
Celtics coach Ime Udoka said he expects Marcus Smart to be listed as questionable for Tuesday's Game 2.
Smart was dealing with a right quad contusion and took two shots to the quad on back-to-back plays in the third quarter.
Udoka said that he will get some treatment today and see how he feels tomorrow.
The injury report for Boston will be released later on Monday.
When Smart left the game in the third quarter, he needed to hit the exercise bike before he could return. He played until Udoka took out his starters.
Smart missed six games in January because of a quad issue, and Udoka said it was more than just a tolerance issue.
It is something that is going to be difficult. Udoka said that he missed games this year because he got hit twice there. It is more than just pain tolerance. It is restriction of movement as well.
We will spend today getting treatment and in the morning we will see how he feels.
The NBA playoffs run through June, when the league will crown a champion for its 75th season.
