Part 3/7:
Allie LaForce, reporting from the sidelines at Target Center, highlights the pressing situation for the Celtics. With Porzingis still recovering and Brown set to miss the game due to a shoulder strain, the team faces adversity just as they enter a critical stretch filled with tough matchups. LaForce emphasizes the team's character and the need to maximize their talents, particularly as they work through adversity heading into the postseason.
Coach Joe Mazzulla's attitude seems focused on the positives of challenging games rather than dwelling on the difficulties of missing key players. He aims to foster a more aggressive defensive approach during the trip which could prove essential in balancing their three-point shooting capabilities.
