Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart was reportedly not pleased after Thursday's 106-101 loss to the Miami Heat in Game 2.
According to Malika Andrews of ESPN and Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe, Smart could be heard loudly yelling profanities from the locker room:

Marcus Smart is screaming at someone in the Celtics locker room — or several people. The yelling continues as Smart exits the locker room, swearing.

Marcus Smart is screaming in the #Celtics locker room and there is a bunch of arguing going on. Smart comes out say “y’all on that bullshit!” Team is imploding. Smart is in bathroom and there is still screaming coming from locker room.

Smart wasn’t the only one yelling. There were definitely items thrown and a lot of yelling. #Celtics
After going off for 26 points in Game 1, shooting 6-of-13 from three, Smart had a more subdued 14 points and four assists on Thursday. He shot 5-of-13 from the field and 2-of-6 from three, finishing -3 on the night.
It's perhaps a concern for Boston that Smart took more shots than Jayson Tatum (6-of-12 from the field) and nearly as many as Jaylen Brown (8-of-14). Kemba Walker led the team with 19 shots, also leading the team with 23 points.
It's unclear what precisely led to the blowup, though after falling into a 2-0 hole in the Eastern Conference Finals, the pressure is beginning to mount for Boston.
