The Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum came to the defense of head coach Joe Mazzulla after the team lost 111-105 to the Miami Heat to fall into an 0-2 hole in the Eastern Conference finals.

“Joe ain’t missed no shots tonight,” Tatum said. “He got no turnovers.”

On the Celtics being in an 0-2 situation, the Boston star said, “It’s tough. It’s a challenge … We’re not dead or anything. We got a great opportunity. I still have the utmost confidence, everybody has the utmost confidence. We just got to get ready for Game 3.”
