The Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla spoke to reporters after Boston beat the Philadelphia 76ers 114-102 on Friday night to take a 2-1 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinal series.
“I mean, they’ve been here before and so I think just embracing it, I think sticking together,” Mazzulla said.
The Sixers star guard James Harden’s 5-for-28 shooting the last two games is the worst for him over any two-game span in his career, regular season or playoffs, in which he’s attempted at least 20 field goals.
“We’re just trying to make him work as much as we can,” the Celtics coach said, via ESPN. “Trying to keep him off the free-throw line. Guys are just working to take away those details.”
