Everyone is losing their minds over Joe Mazzulla subbing in Hugo Gonzalez for the game-tying 3 in overtime. On the surface, it looks like a brilliant, last-second adjustment that saved the Celtics and forced a second OT.
But when you slow it down, this possession looks a lot less like genius and a lot more like a complete Nets defensive meltdown.
We break down the sideline out-of-bounds confusion, the mismatches, the zone vs man mix-up, and how Michael Porter Jr and Brooklyn’s backside coverage completely lost the shooter in the one spot they absolutely couldn’t. This wasn’t some perfectly drawn up masterpiece. It was miscommunication, poor coverage, and a breakdown you almost never see at the NBA level.
We also look at whether the Celtics even deserved to be in that position after blowing a 7-point lead late, how Brooklyn’s blitzing defense gave Boston problems, and why Boston struggled to attack the blitz the right way.
Was this really a great Celtics play, or just a brutal Nets mistake? Let’s break it down.
