The Celtics defeated the Sixers by 34 points despite Jayson Tatum playing just 19 minutes and scoring only seven points. After the win, Celtics guard Marcus Smart was spotted snacking cereal, which has a unique box.

During a post-game interview, Marcus Smart appeared to eat cereal from a box that had his face on it. While asked about the picture on the box, Smart said, "This actually is the smartest thing to be eating," and everyone shared a laugh.
