Joe Mazzulla explained why he thought the Celtics were ‘lucky to win that game’ against the Grizzlies

Joe Mazzulla’s take on the Celtics’ fortunate win: Following the Celtics’ 102-100 win over the Grizzlies on Sunday, Boston head coach Joe Mazzulla offered some unvarnished analysis of his 11-2 team.

Following a chaotic final minute — in which the game could’ve swung in either direction multiple times — Mazzulla acknowledged that his team delivered an “undisciplined” performance in Memphis.

“We got lucky to win that game,” Mazzulla told reporters.

“We talk about it a lot. You can learn from losses, [and] you can learn from wins,” he continued. “Sometimes you’re okay with a loss because you did some right things, and sometimes you’re pissed because you didn’t deserve to win, and I didn’t think we deserved to win the game because of a lot of stuff that we did.
