Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart is best known as one of the most fearsome lockdown defenders in the league today. On Friday night against the Utah Jazz, the 26-year-old showcased some nice moves from his offensive repertoire.

At the 9:39 mark of the third quarter of the Celtics-Jazz match-up at the TD Garden, Smart figured in a jump ball against the opposing team's starting point guard Mike Conley. Smart easily won the tip and got the ball right back from teammate Daniel Theis.

Adding more insult to injury, Smart proceeded to humiliate Conley with a nice step back and drained a 3-pointer right to his face. Conley, who is a decent defender himself, almost fell on all fours after Smart got away with a little shove.

The Jazz, however, took control in the fourth period and ran away with a 99-94 road win. Marcus Smart led the Celtics with 29 points in 37 minutes, while Mike Conley pitched in 25 points and five assists for Utah.
