Joe Mazzulla on Celtics 9th STRAIGHT Win vs Bulls | Postgame Interview

Joe Mazzulla on Celtics 9th STRAIGHT Win vs Bulls | Postgame Interview

Kind of an example so many things you talk about like a team shoots 57% but 23-2 on Second Chance points and chop margin no like I said said uh think I said this on the radio today playing teams like Chicago are great tests for the playoffs because of their like

Ability to go on runs their ability to impact the game on turnovers points off turnovers offensive rebounds free throws like they they uh they test you on the margins and um I didn’t I don’t I didn’t have a box score but uh from what I saw

I know we um had more turnovers than they did but uh for them to play Big with vich and Drummond and to outrebound them 12 to3 on the offensive glass have a 21o fourth quarter and uh for them to only shoot 11 free throws that’s a recipe for Success on nights that you

You know you might not have it so to speak or uh so that’s important for us to to be able to continue to develop those habits and find different ways to win but uh Luke in particular what did you think of his work on treasure what he’s been doing um his ability to

Navigate defensive coverages his ability to uh impact the game offensively I thought he had some tough tough offensive rebounds for us that really kept us in the game emotionally so to speak you know I think coming you know second night of a back toback guys out

Uh the role guys in particular credit to them all their minutes had to step up uh but a couple of those just physical present plays kind of kept us in it and I thought OA was great tonight as well in that department were there things um defensively that you didn’t like like or

Did you feel like they were just kind of H not really I mean you know they had uh Four Guys shoot threes that you know I think I think we could do a better job of doing both you know like um you’re so worried about the vich uh D rozan pick

And roll and and having shift activity and and stuff like that so you know we could have had maybe some better close outs on a couple of them but I thought their old guys played well they made threes they they made shots um but you know that space of the game that

Chicago’s great at is forcing turnovers into transition offense right so we start the game with four turnovers for eight points in transition now you’re behind right so then you started with uh Four Points I mean four turnovers eight points off turnovers and then they have

Uh 12 points off guys that like you uh you know want to close out to but take away the drive so now you’re kind of behind as far as the margins there and the guys did a good job of working their way back into it Joe second out of a

Back to back on the road we’ve talked about it all season long missing three starters but what has allowed you guys what went into being ble to no matter who’s on the floor you guys give yourselves a chance to win uh just the the the locker room like you said we

Talked about it tonight um you know O’Shea I thought fee gave good minutes X um you know it’s funny I yelled Jaden’s name he was shocked he went in at 4 seconds but we’ve given up four points in 4 seconds uh against Denver and against Detroit and so like those 4

Seconds matter so just every time someone goes into the game they know their minutes matter and they play the role that they need to do to give us the best chance to win and uh you know it looks different every night so it’s a credit to them

Really so seem like a lot of guys like obviously throughout the game kind of had their segments um like the third quarter out so good you mentioned o at the start of the fourth and the second and the second Payton throughout the game Sam like just kind

Of I mean X and l x and luk minutes had some physical rebounds in there in the offensive end as well so said it’s just the guys uh find different ways to impact the game do you run plays for Sam uh I think the guys that like we

Talked about this before the guys have done a better job of understanding how to use Sam as a weapon whether it’s to get him open or to use him as a Decoy for two-on ones and he has an innate ability to balance the floor with spacing but also create indecisions and

So we don’t run a ton of plays for him but the guys have really learned how to use him as a weapon offensively um and so it’s a it’s opening up things for for him but also for the other guys he’s got 23s in the last three games which is

Franchise record yeah like he’s made yes oh cool the last three games they he’s played in is that just him and his development a comfort heater the team like I think it’s just a comfort level of knowing that his guys his teammates are looking for him you know I think

That’s really what it is and you give him the ball if you look at most of his threes are really good passes timely passes into his shot so I think it’s really just that Comfort level that he knows he’s going to get open and he

Knows the guys are going to see him are you see you seem like revved up about that there’s some games you seem like rubbed up this the last two have been fun iess you can’t take winning for granted you know um I thought it was I thought the guys have handled it really

Well with the competitive mindset and like uh there’s no reason for us to I mean there’s many reasons why we could have a lull from an effort standpoint or from a competitive standpoint and just lay down and not who’s to say that it might not happen on this trip it might

But up until this point uh especially after you know the Milwaukee game which was a you know a game that was probably circled for the guys for us to just continue to play hard is is a The Habit that we need to have so uh I love that

More than anything else even if we didn’t win like I think it’s I think we’re playing the right way we just got to keep that and we can’t take winning for Grant thank you thanks
