Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla had high praise for his star forward duo of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown after the Celtics' Game 5 win over the Orlando Magic to advance from the 2025 NBA Eastern Conference first round series to the East Semis on Tuesday (April 29) night.

Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla explained a now-viral clip of him yelling at an injured Jayson Tatum during Boston's Game 1 win over Orlando.

Tatum is a six-time All-Star, three-time All-NBA First Team selection, and played a key role in leading the Celtics to the 2024 NBA Championship. This season, he averaged 26.8 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 6.0 assists across 72 games, helping Boston secure the No. 2 seed in the East.
