Questioned about all the little things the Boston Celtics’ stay-ready guys did on Monday night, Joe Mazzulla perked up in his seat. He shook his head as if to say, “man, that was great,” and finished the thought himself.
“Jaden Springer making the extra pass. Xavier Tillman’s defense on the perimeter...” the inquiry detailed.
“...Oshae [Brissett]’s offensive rebounding. Svi [Mykhailiuk, too],” Mazzulla said, finishing the thought before the question even finished.
The Detroit Pistons were in town, and the Celtics were without four of their top eight rotation players. Derrick White notched his first career triple-double.
