Celtics Coach Joe Mazzulla Leads Staff to Dominant Win Over Reporters
After a Tuesday practice, the Celtics offered reporters the use of the Auerbach Center courts for a media game. However, Coach Joe Mazzulla had a surprise in store.
"You're not playing against each other," Mazzulla told the group. "You're playing against the coaches."
The outcome was predictable: Celtics coaches 57, Celtics media 4. The coaches continued to shoot deep 3-pointers until the end, with Mazzulla fist-pumping after the final basket.
"I know Joe wanted to keep us scoreless,"said Boston.com's Khari A.
The coaches' competitive spirit was on full display, refusing to run out the clock in a lopsided game.
