Joe Mazzulla likes math – and the Celtics are using it to their advantage so far
New York TimesBOSTON — Joe Mazzulla respects the numbers. “We’re fourth in shot-selection defense and we’re last in midrange points per shot and we’re first in midrange frequency. We just have to execute consistently.” — Boston Celtics October 31, 2022 “Joe’s been putting a lot of emphasis on our defense, on the defensive end,” said Malcolm Brogdon. Sunday’s game against the Wizards provided another example of how Mazzulla’s team has given itself a math advantage early in the season. “I saw the same effort that we’ve had the first however many games we’ve played,” Mazzulla said.
