Celtics did last night what they have a bad habit of doing, can’t even say it’s a Mazzulla thing bc it happened with Ime & Stevens too
Get a big lead, then completely go away from everything that got you the lead. Soften up on defense, start playing casual on offense just coming down taking rushed early shot clock 3s. It’s like they expect the other team to roll over and quit, then next thing you know a comfortable win has become a game where you’re fighting for your life
They had more 2PA in the 2nd quarter than the 2nd half/OT combined, they built the lead from living in the paint. Then decided to spend the rest of the game shooting stepback 3s
