After the Boston Celtics' Game 3 win over the Miami Heat, Joe Mazzulla spoke about what they did different on the defensive end.
Following their Game 2 loss to the Miami Heat , the Boston Celtics traveled to South Beach on Saturday night looking for a bounce-back.The Celtics stomped the Heat on Saturday. They overcame their defensive disaster and held the Heat to just 84 points in Game 3.
“Yeah, I mean, that word , it’s just such a trigger word around this time of year,” Mazzulla said. “We didn’t make too many adjustments. We played a little bit harder. We played tougher. We dictated the physicality and the tempo of the game. The Heat shot just 9/28 from behind the three-point arc in Game 3. A healthy dose of improved screen navigation and increased physicality helped them return to the level of play fans became accustomed to seeing during the regular season.
“Individual defense. Team defense,” Mazzulla said. “I thought Jrue was great. I don’t know when he got his first shot, but I thought he dictated the defensive tempo of the game. I thought Tatum answered the call defensively. I thought KP and Al did a great job.
