Joe Mazzulla simultaneously finished explaining his thought process on going for the In-Season Tournament, arriving at his media availabilities with Brooklyn and Toronto still locked in a one-possession game. Reporters carried laptops and phones with the game and scores streaming.<\/p>\n<p id=\"0EvYEl\">\u201cWithout worrying about it, we advanced,\u201d Mazzulla said after being told the result of Nets-Raptors. \u201cThink about what the process does. Process over results.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"j2qbwI\">\n<div style=\"left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3J6472PA1oA?rel=0&amp;start=1\" style=\"top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; border: 0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" scrolling=\"no\" allow=\"accelerometer; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"VfC5g9\">Part of the appeal of Tuesday\u2019s tournament triumph and overcoming the 22-point differential deficit to the Magic while passing the Nets to secure Group C stemmed from the uncertainty over whether Mazzulla would run up the score. He professed zero obligation pre-game to cross the threshold. <\/p>\n<p id=\"DqvDBP\">But after an unnamed assistant told Mazzulla in the fourth quarter that the Nets led by a possession while Boston led by 29 with 7:34 to go. Jrue Holiday, Al Horford and Jaylen Brown headed to the scorer\u2019s table to set up an unprecedented scene. <\/p>\n<p id=\"4ubHDQ\">Normally, that situation would set up early exits from the arena, recaps submitted to editors before the buzzer, and <em>garbage time <\/em>lineups playing between Gino intermissions. Instead, Donovan and Mazzulla held a spirited discussion at half court over Boston deciding to hack Andre Drummond. Holiday pushed Boston\u2019s lead to 35 while the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.postingandtoasting.com\/\">Knicks<\/a>\u2019 lead hovered around 20 on the Hornets. The calculators came out.<\/p>\n<p id=\"jGg0iu\">Celtics +32, Knicks +38, <em>wait<\/em>. <\/p>\n<p id=\"aU8dK0\">The Bucks fell behind the Heat. What if they\u2019re in the wild card mix? <\/p>\n<p id=\"BBwEKw\">Boston never thought about that second scenario that never came into play. Players, uninformed by Mazzulla, mostly entered with that 23-point figure in their head. <\/p>\n<p id=\"SbWNaR\">\u201cWe pretty much already knew,\u201d Holiday said. \u201cWe had heard the score of the Toronto-Brooklyn game. We saw it up on the screen and stuff. I think we kind of knew, everybody individually trying to do the math in their head, which even after the game got a little confusing. That\u2019s why I\u2019m not into the mathematics of it. I play basketball.\u201d <\/p>\n<p id=\"eRz08g\">Holiday and Brown complained about the point differential rule after the game despite embracing it on the floor. Mazzulla, as promised, staked out the hallway between locker rooms to chat with Donovan after their exchange, both coaches acknowledging the other\u2019s perspective while Bulls officials alerted Drummond of Mazzulla\u2019s desire to speak with him. Drummond, after getting dressed, declined to comment on the fouling decision with reporters, politely saying he\u2019d only talk about <em>basketball<\/em>. <\/p>\n<p id=\"JT7EzV\">Disdain toward and debate over the rules of the tournament will continue into next summer, but subtle tensions, difficult strategic decisions and fan interest through the buzzer made Tuesday an all-time unique event at the Garden. It followed a Warriors-Timberwolves fight earlier in the tournament, incidents late in games where teams remained locked-in where they rarely would otherwise \u2014 like the Magic did on Friday. The Celtics made up for that effort with a renewed focus, Brown pushing the ball in transition from Holiday and Derrick White to expand a lead to 19. Boston\u2019s bench stayed standing watching the Celtics maximize possessions before halftime. The Celtics managed the margin like a playoff game. <\/p>\n<p id=\"wWkEeb\">\u201cI took in all the information. I didn\u2019t handle it emotionally and I sat and stored it in whatever part of my brain that stores information,\u201d Mazzulla said. \u201cI waited to see if I was going to need it or not. I don\u2019t know going into a game that we\u2019re gonna be up 23, we could be down 15 because that\u2019s a distraction, because we\u2019re trying to be up 23, and you\u2019re gonna be like, <em>was your team distracted by the 23-point lead? \u2026 <\/em>our team was focused on winning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"eCTQ0d\">Clunkiness remained. Many fans, never mind media, struggled to sort through the scenarios on the final day of group play. Many arrived wondering what the tournament meant in general. <\/p>\n<p id=\"EiTr9z\">The $500,000 in winnings, which Luke Kornet joked would pay off his mortgage, doesn\u2019t resonate with casual fans. The inaugural trophy doesn\u2019t mean anything yet. Teams weighed going for it with health \u2014 Brown\u2019s dive to the floor with two minutes left was enough for Mazzulla as his bench emptied. <\/p>\n<div id=\"2Rttmw\">\n<div style=\"left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lP6TpWetcvc?rel=0&amp;start=93\" style=\"top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; border: 0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" scrolling=\"no\" allow=\"accelerometer; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"4i6dMZ\">Until then though, for all the lamenting post-game, the Celtics played hard. They moved the ball better than they had all year with 36 assists, positioning Al Horford as an inside-out initiator. Sam Hauser chased down and dunked a Jayson Tatum miss. Tatum and Brown crossed the 23-point line with back-to-back scores in the second. White stole a pass in the back court and found Tatum immediately to go up 27. Mazzulla called timeout when Chicago cut the lead to 30. He challenged the players to focus on areas where they recently struggled, the Celtics seemed to thrive running up a score. Not, they\u2019re on to Indiana. <\/p>\n<p id=\"AwP2Oq\">\u201cOnce it got to that and you started playing the math game, and your possessions are 0.0 points per possession because they missed two free throws, that gets me excited,\u201d Mazzulla said. \u201cIt\u2019s not that I don\u2019t think the In-Season Tournament is fun or it\u2019s important, but there\u2019s a process. You go back to the Orlando game, are we gonna rebound just because it\u2019s an (IST) game? I don\u2019t want our guys to have that type of mindset \u2026 we have to rebound every game \u2026 you\u2019re at 30, <em>what\u2019d you want to do? I want to get stops<\/em> \u2026 and I apologized to Andre Drummond for doing that, but it gave us the best chance considering the circumstances.\u201d <\/p>\n<p id=\"DIuIbK\">\n\n<h2><b>Commercials
