They just can\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p id=\"qbW04h\">After trailing by as many as 17 points on Monday, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.celticsblog.com\/\">Celtics<\/a> rallied for a win over the New Orleans Pelicans. <\/p>\n<p id=\"Ey2eRG\">They found themselves in a similar predicament to the one that they\u2019d been in two days prior when they were on the wrong end of a beatdown from the LA Clippers.<\/p>\n<p id=\"o5fuP7\">Unfortunately, that\u2019s something that head coach Joe Mazzulla believes needs to happen to not only keep his team in check, but also remind the general public that the Celtics are human, and are going to make mistakes.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Gm9tkM\">\u201cI just hope it happens 10-12 more times &amp; we can get rid of the entitlement that we\u2019re always supposed to be winning, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=J0k_DIm130Y\">Mazzulla told reporters after his team\u2019s 118-112 win over New Orleans.<\/a> \u201cI hope we have to blow leads. I hope all that happens. I really do. That\u2019s what I think. I think, at times, we\u2019re supposed to be winning all the time, and that\u2019s just not the case. We have to stay the course.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"0oi8Iy\">\n<div style=\"left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/J0k_DIm130Y?rel=0\" 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=\"ufxjX8\">Instead of suffering the same fate as they did on Saturday night, the Cs flipped the third-quarter script and came out of the halftime break ready to battle \u2014 just like how Mazzulla believes it should be in the NBA, regardless of what the fanbase may believe about the league-best Celtics.<\/p>\n<p id=\"qIST3U\">\u201cBeing down 10 in the NBA is really not foreign to the 99th percentile of the NBA,\u201d he said. \u201cThat happens all the time. I said at halftime, \u2018What are you doing? It\u2019s a 10-point game\u2019&#8230; It\u2019s like, \u2018The Celtics have to earn a win tonight?\u2019 Yeah. It\u2019s the NBA.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"ts5zP0\">His guys certainly did that.<\/p>\n<p id=\"OlWk7h\">They managed to erase their 10-point halftime deficit by the time there were just under five minutes left to play in the third. <\/p>\n<p id=\"dldqm9\">The play that they took the lead on?<\/p>\n<p id=\"nrEJOh\">Earned \u2014 for sure.<\/p>\n<p id=\"f2x3K4\">Multiple (home) white jerseys hit the floor to recover a loose ball, which eventually found the hands of the sharpshooting Sam Hauser.<\/p>\n<div id=\"p2ORq9\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\" align=\"center\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">HAUSER FOR THE LEAD \u203c\ufe0f  <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/bZOvSd9rm9\">pic.twitter.com\/bZOvSd9rm9<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Celtics on NBC Sports Boston (@NBCSCeltics) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NBCSCeltics\/status\/1752152181552128152?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 30, 2024<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"lmIlX3\">Boston\u2019s second-half surge was kickstarted on the defensive end, where they forced the Pelicans into eight turnovers.<\/p>\n<div id=\"QdoARz\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\" align=\"center\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">WINNING PLAYS     <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/RWJ5NrEXwO\">pic.twitter.com\/RWJ5NrEXwO<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Celtics on NBC Sports Boston (@NBCSCeltics) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NBCSCeltics\/status\/1752150995763597440?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 30, 2024<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"zvuBzM\">It was clear that the Cs had shifted their focus to shutting down New Orleans\u2019 offense after they gave up 36 first-quarter points rather than trying to get it all back on the other end of the floor.<\/p>\n<p id=\"kuBTNv\">For the remainder of the game, Boston went on to allow 24 points in the second, 27 points in the third, and then 25 points in the final frame.<\/p>\n<p id=\"oVnwpW\">\u201cYeah. That, to me, is perfect. The lesson of, like I said, you just have to earn it. Tomorrow (against the Indiana Pacers) is going to be just as hard of a game in a different way.
