Joe Mazzulla Praises Kristaps Porzingis & Jaylen Brown After Celtics Win vs Rockets | Postgame

Three and the four when you call time out what’ you say in the Huddle and what made the difference down the stretch um just settle it settle the boys down uh try to run a set um you know understand the emotion of the game uh and just make sure we execute on both

Ends of the floor Joe using I mean just the luxury of having Chris STS and being able to go to him repeatedly those two buckets down the stretch how how much how how awesome is that different from last year to be able to just you know when Jason and

Jaylen don’t have maybe it dumping into him and getting those easy bucks yeah I mean when teams are switching uh on and off ball and pressuring us the way they did a pressure release uh with the ability to play out of the post is um you know I think something that we have

To continue to develop for the long-term success of our team and so uh I thought he was great I thought he stepped up tonight and played a great game but really O’Shea Luke PT and Sam like that unit to me like that’s why you put so much stock into them that’s why you

Believe in them like they have to help you win games like that uh you know when it’s a long year it’s going to be night for you’re not at your best uh but those guys brought it um and so it’s big time defensively what did they do differently

Tonight than they did last Saturday uh I mean I think it goes back to fool’s gold right like we shot 50% from three and so to me and they were on a second night of a back toback but traveling from Detroit at 3:00 in the morning and so um that

Game was a little bit of fool’s gold and I expected the game to go more like this because um of their physicality because of their switching and so they just turned up the pressure they switched on and off ball their pickup points were really high and they forced us to work

For everything what did you like about just 17 offensive rebounds Second Chance points and it kind of slowed down in that third quarter a little bit but then Luke got that big one late and everything yeah I mean uh so I think that’s the recipe and something that we

Took from last year is uh when we’re not shooting well can we have a different switch attack which is what Chris STS is able to bring us in the post and how do we fight to get extra possessions which is our offensive rebounding and our crashing so something we stressed this

Year it’s something we’ve gotten better at and in nights like this it it keeps baskets alive and uh gives you extra possessions I think we got five more shots than they do 9994 um and I I don’t know what the free throws were but you know being able to

Control the shot margin in games like that is super important when you talk about the Ben especially offensive rebounding like you guys got you have multiple guys like Pon Luke OA who who do all that how do they kind of set the tone in that yeah I mean I think they’re just as

Important to our team as anybody else because they set the energy tone and and they make all the dirty plays and they do all the dirty work and tonight I think we had at halftime uh I think we had what was nine offensive rebounds to two and 19 Second Chance points to zero

And so our ability to uh get extra possessions at the other end and and protect the rim with our defensive rebounding and on defense is important and those guys just brought it on both ends Jay Brown triple double and maybe was surprisingly was the assist like

What was he doing tonight is he becoming a better passer yeah I think he’s becoming a better playmaker he’s becoming a better guy of understanding the flow of the game uh I tell you what there was a couple plays that were a direct uh learning experience from the

Last game with reeds and them trying to change matchups and finding where that matchup is and thought Jaylen did a good job of just playing with poise uh using his speed to generate a Cross Match finding it and then making the right play so uh he continues to get better and better than

HOUSTON — Following the Boston Celtics 116-107 victory over the Houston Rockets, Head Coach Joe Mazzulla spoke about the team’s performance, particularly highlighting the contributions of Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porzingis. He emphasized the need for strategic development in response to how teams are adapting their defense against the Celtics. “Teams are switching on- and off-ball and pressuring us so the ability to play in the post is something we have to continue to develop for the long-term success of this team,” Mazzulla said. This focus on adaptability and growth underlines his approach to maintaining the team’s success.
