Joe Mazzulla Talks About Identity and How the Celtics’ Offense Has Evolved: “Balance of Pace and Execution”
Wednesday night in the California state capital, the Boston Celtics steamrolled the Sacramento Kings, 144-119. They had five players register at least 20 points.
Saturday, they improved to 2-1 on their four-game West Coast trip, cruising past the Los Angeles Clippers, 145-108.
Jayson Tatum paced all participants with 30 points, Jaylen Brown scored 24, and Jrue Holiday put 20 on the board, combining for 74.
The latter’s registered at least 20 in back-to-back contests after not doing so once before these last two tilts.
The visitors, who led by as much as 39 on Saturday, had six players score over ten points.
Consistently contesting shots, limiting the hosts to 11/34 (32.4 percent) shooting from beyond the arc, operating up-tempo, and repeatedly driving and kicking to create quality, in-rhythm attempts combined to contribute to Boston assisting on 33/49 field goals and making 25 threes on 47.2 percent efficiency while hoisting 53 long-range looks.
