Joe Mazzulla emphasized the importance of mental strategy for the Boston Celtics, particularly highlighting Jaylen Brown's technical foul against Giannis Antetokounmpo during their recent game.

Brown's taunting led to a pivotal moment that Mazzulla believes energized the team, contributing to their 111-105 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. The exchange between Brown and Antetokounmpo added intensity to their rivalry, which may carry into the playoffs.
