Post-Destroying Warriors Unveiled

The Boston Celtics showcased their peak performance on Sunday, delivering an impressive 140-88 victory over the Golden State Warriors at TD Garden. Even in the absence of Kristaps Porzingis, the Celtics dominated, and head coach Joe Mazzulla highlighted the team’s mindset and physicality as crucial elements in their success.

Mazzulla expressed appreciation for the players who maintained a high level of intensity throughout the game, particularly acknowledging Luke Kornet for his impactful effort. While Kornet’s individual stats may not have stood out, his defensive contributions, including a key role in Boston’s 23-1 run to close the first quarter, did not go unnoticed.

Postgame, Mazzulla raised thought-provoking questions to the team, emphasizing the significance of playing as a cohesive unit while maintaining humility. He pondered the possibilities when the team operates collectively and the potential consequences if unity and humility are compromised. The challenge ahead is whether the Celtics can consistently replicate this level of play when it matters most.
