It's safe to say that Marcus Smart was not happy with the Celtics' decision to sit him late in Tuesday's contest.

The Celtics guard struggled to contain his emotions on the bench, getting into a heated exchange with assistant coaches Jerome Allen and Jamie Young.

Head coach Brad Stevens gave a simple explanation for Smart's outburst following the contest, saying "he wanted to go back in badly."

Boston went on to lose 123-108.
