BOSTON — In recent days, the Boston Celtics have been poorly impacted by a series of close calls, as described in the NBA’s two-minute report after a controversial 133-131 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Monday.
Before Wednesday night’s matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla took a positive spin on Monday’s outcome, allowing Boston a chance to reflect internally and make necessary adjustments. That doesn’t mean he wasn’t still frustrated with recent calls and took a clever way to express his opinions.
The Celtics head coach referenced a scene from the 2010 movie “The Town,” which takes place in Boston. Mazzulla alluded to the moment when Ben Affleck’s character, Doug MacRay, leaves a note on a windshield with a, let’s say, unique parting message to tell off the FBI.
Mazzulla described the note as “well thought-out” before casually exiting his pregame press conference, leaving reporters in attendance to interpret his own message.
