But Irving reserved special praise for team-mate Smart.

He said: “He’s a true necessity – he does the little things.

“We understand how important he is for our team offensively and defensively.

“When he’s doing what he does out there, he’s great for our team.”

Meanwhile, Marcus Morris, who stepped in for the injured Al Horford said: “I thought we could have defended better, but it is what it is, we won.”

On Horford’s absence, he added: “Al was a big part of our team – we missed him, but we got the W.”
