Things got a bit tense at TD Garden after Tuesday night's game between the Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets when Marcus Smart got into it with refs.

During the heated exchange, Smart can be seen mouthing the word "pussy" to the refs while he was being held back.

The Nets ended up winning the game, which went into overtime, with a final score of 129-120. Brooklyn was helped out by a massive 51 points from Caris LeVert. The Nets were able to clinch the win after overcoming a 21-point deficit. Smart finished the game with 14 points and 10 assists.

In other news, Dwyane Wade voiced his support for Smart winning Defensive Player of the Year award.

"I mean he's fearless," Wade said of Smart. "And it's not just the blocks; it's the hustle, it's the diving on the floor for the ball, it's the switching one through five that the guy does. So I think he deserves more credit."
