The Boston Celtics just humiliated the Brooklyn Nets on Monday night after completing a clean sweep in their first-round matchup. The Nets tried to come back late in the contest but in the end, they fell in Game 4, 116-112.

Towards the closing moments of the matchup, Kevin Durant pulled up for a triple to try and close the gap. In the end, it didn't mean anything with the Celtics holding an insurmountable lead with just seconds remaining. However, Marcus Smart's reaction to KD's one-footed off-balanced trey just said it all:

Smart no longer contested Durant's shot so as to avoid being whistled for a foul. However, he was a first-hand witness to that amazing shot by KD. All the Celtics guard could say after that triple was, “Damn.”

The good news for Smart and the rest of the Celtics is that they won't be facing Durant anymore after taking them out in the first round. The bad news is that they face the prospect of matching up against Giannis Antetokounmpo if the Bucks are able to defeat the Chicago Bulls in the first round. I'm pretty sure Marcus Smart is very excited about that, though.
