Steve Kerr and Marcus Smart were exchanging some words during the Celtics game vs. the Warriors. The dispute seemingly caused by play Smart made that sent Curry to locker room.

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.
