Celtics’ belief in Joe Mazzulla continues in advancing to Eastern Conference Finals: ‘He kept his poise’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:01:19 GMT

Joe Mazzulla has been ridiculed for his timeout usage – or lack thereof – this season, but the Celtics coach picked an important moment to call one in Sunday’s Game 7 win over the Sixers.The Celtics were trailing early in the second quarter, their offense wasn’t flowing yet and they were getting irritated by a series of unfriendly whistles. A questionable foul call on Derrick White, who barely made contact on an exaggerating James Harden, set Mazzulla off. He stormed to midcourt arguing the call. He called a timeout, then brought the intensity to the huddle. There was still 10:09 remaining in the second quarter, but it seemed to be a pivotal point.“I think in a game like that … the guys are so focused on playing hard because they want to win, that you lose sight of how the reality is sometimes,” Mazzulla said. “Our guys have such the right intentions. So just building an awareness of, ‘Hey, here’s how the game is going. We have to shift it. We have to shift the momentum, we have to ...
