The Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla spoke after the Celtics’ 112-99 victory over the Atlanta Hawks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference first-round. Despite the late drop-off, Mazzulla said he’s not worried about the late-game malaise carrying over.

“I’m not concerned at all,” he said, via ESPN. “This team has played great for the entire season. That’s going to happen. It’s actually good that we went through it. We had to feel that and it’s important that we learn from it.”
