The Boston Celtics may have lost Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors, but Marcus Smart is not one bit bothered.

While the Warriors blew out the Celtics to prove they cannot do anything about their explosive offense, Smart highlighted that they are not a team that easily gets demoralized by such big losses. In fact, it's quite the opposite since they know very well how to respond to adversity.

It's not the first time the Celtics have been knocked down, but as they have shown throughout the year, they always get back up and find a way to deliver the winning blow.

“We have been knocked down a lot early on the season, we know what it feels like to knocked down. So for us it's just to keep fighting because we know our potential when we do that,” Smart shared.

The two teams are now tied at 1-1, but as the series shifts to Boston, the Celtics have every reason to be confident. Besides, they did take one game on the road against a team that many thought would easily cruise in the NBA Finals with their high-octane offense.

Of course Boston has a lot of work to do to regain the lead; however, as Marcus Smart said, they are well aware what they are capable of. Fans need not to look further to find proof of their winning mentality, as their Game 1 comeback should be enough to raise hopes that they can contend for the title.
