Boston interim head coach Joe Mazzulla: ‘A lot of good lessons’ for Celtics to learn from Raptors loss
Boston Celtics interim head coach Joe Mazzulla was interviewed by the media following Boston’s disappointing 137-134 preseason overtime loss to the Toronto Raptors at Montreal’s Bell Centre Arena this past Friday night. With it, the Celtics’ 2022-23 preseason comes to a close as the team turns its attention to Tuesday night’s home opener against their longstanding Atlantic Division rival, the Philadelphia 76ers.
Coach Mazzulla said that believed that the team had a great deal to learn from the overtime loss, and said “I thought there was a lot of good things, a lot of good lessons for us to learn, players and coaches. And I thought that’s exactly what we needed to go through heading into the season.”
Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what the Celtics interim coach had to say about the preseason defeat and what exactly there is for the team to take from a game that was, for virtually all of the contest, within their grasp to win.
