10 takeaways from the Celtics’ dynamic win over the Mavericks

As the season evolves, more teams seem to follow the Grizzlies’ approach. Back in December, Memphis decided to leave Jrue Holiday open from three to crowd the paint and keep a rim protector near the basket. Memphis used Jaren Jackson Jr. as a roamer in the paint, ignoring Jrue in the corner. Last night, it was Daniel Gafford who adopted a similar strategy.

However, the Celtics’ approach to this defensive coverage has evolved. Against the Grizzlies, Jrue was used as a stationary shooter in the corner and attempted 17 threes that night.
