The Boston Celtics secured a spot in the postseason with their win over the Phoenix Suns on Thursday, maintaining their position atop the Eastern Conference standings. However, Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla’s unexpected in-game decision has stirred discussion.
During the fourth quarter, Jaylen Brown intercepted a pass and executed an impressive dunk, prompting a timeout. Following the whistle, Suns forward Royce O’Neale attempted a shot, a common practice among players despite knowing it wouldn’t count.
