Joe Mazzulla didn’t mince words on Monday night.
After a 118-112 win over the Pelicans where Boston had to bounce back from a halftime deficit, Mazzulla praised the adversity his team overcame.
Given the “entitlement” that he believes surrounds this title-chasing roster, Mazzulla almost welcomes the rare nights when his players are dealt a tough hand.
“I just hope it happens 10, 12 more times so we can get rid of the entitlement that we’re always supposed to be winning,” Mazzulla said of dealing with adversity on Monday, as captured by CLNS Media.
