Marcus Smart would get a chance to tie the game with about 7 seconds left but he was blocked by Jrue Holiday who was helping Pat Connaughton on defense. Holiday got the ball and threw it off Smart as he was falling out of bounds.
Connaughton would get fouled on the other end and hit two free throws to help put the game away. Holiday stole the ball away from Smart one more time on Boston’s last chance effort to get it up the floor for one more shot.
