Considering the circumstances of losing two home games and a pair of 20-point third quarter leads, Joe Mazzulla was fairly subdued in his postgame presser. They’ll watch film and find areas to improve before heading out to New York for the weekend, but the Celtics head coach didn’t seem upset or concerned with his team’s performance.
And after being blitzed with questions about their three-point attempts, shot selection and late game decisions that didn’t work out in Boston’s favor, Mazzulla was as resolved as he’s ever been about his team.
“I take solace in the fact that we have a challenge ahead of us and a chance to go after it together and we gotta do it,” Mazzulla said of the defending champs.
