Celtics interim head coach Joe Mazzulla showed gratitude toward Blake Griffin after the team's 140-105 win over Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday, November 29.
“He's a great person,” Mazzulla, who was named interim coach for the Celtics after Ime Udoka was suspended for the entire season two months ago, said.
“He's been great for our team on and off the court, plays hard, super aggressive, and is a great teammate.
"And so, I thanked him for his professionalism and his work ethic to stay ready. It's a long year and we're going to need more of that this season for sure.”
