Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 10:19:53 GMT

NEW YORK — Joe Mazzulla has referenced the Celtics’ horrible loss to the Nets last March – when they blew a 28-point lead – multiple times this season. It provided some of his biggest lessons as a first-year head coach. It made him study momentum, among other things, to make sure something like that never happened again.Facing the Nets for the first time since that disastrous loss on Saturday night, the Celtics were reminded why their opponent was so tough that night in March.These Nets, while much less talented than the Celtics, are tough. They were playing the second night of a back-to-back. They were missing key players, including Ben Simmons. That didn’t stop them from hanging tough for most of the night at Barclays Center, where they erased several deficits.But these Celtics, with a few new pieces, are a different team.Despite Cam Thomas and the Nets’ best shot, the Celtics were too much to handle. So far, they’re not letting history from last season repeat itself. Jayson Tatum...
