Steve Kerr, Marcus Smart exchange words as tempers flare between C's, Warriors

Calling all lip readers: What was Steve Kerr saying to Marcus Smart during a heated exchange in the first half of Wednesday's Boston Celtics-Golden State Warriors game?

Golden State's head coach appeared to be scolding Smart after a sequence of plays in the second quarter at the Chase Center, one of which left Warriors star Steph Curry injured.

The first play in question was Smart diving for a loose ball, getting entangled with Curry and forcing him from the game with a lower body injury. The second was a foul on star Klay Thompson which was ruled a flagrant foul.

The Warriors later announced that Curry wouldn't return to the game with left foot soreness. The Celtics pulled away following Curry's exit to earn an impressive 110-88 win over Golden State.
