Joe Mazzulla on strategy:
“I err on the side of doing what we do best first, and do it better first because that’s the identity we created, that’s the confidence we created and that’s kind of who we are as a team. So I think it’s important to try and do what we do and do it better. But the biggest thing, because of this season and not being healthy throughout the year, our guys have always stepped in but it’s all looked the same.”

Celtics keys to victory vs. Hawks:
#1: Take care of business at home
#2: Tatum being Tatum
#3: Get rebounds
#4: Frustrate Trae Young
