3 Grizzlies swat Marcus Smart at once to save 21-point comeback win

Good luck getting this shot up, Marcus Smart.

Trying to put in a layup against three defenders is no easy task. Marcus Smart found out the hard way.

Tony Allen, Jeff Green and Matt Barnes were not letting this shot go in late in the Grizzlies' close win over the Celtics. And it was a big win for the Grizzlies. They trailed by 21 and had a one-point lead with 40 seconds to play when Barnes picked up the huge block. They held on for a 101-98 win.

Barnes got the rejection, but this one should count as a team block. The Grizzlies got a team stat in the most important column, at least: a win.
