Overview

• After practice, Joe Mazzulla told reporters they would face the Celtics coaching staff instead of playing their usual media-only pickup game.
• The staff featured former NBA and high-level college players, including Phil Pressey, Da’Sean Butler, Amile Jefferson, God Shammgod Jr., Tony Dobbins and DJ MacLeay.
• Only two reporters scored for the media team, with Bobby Krivitsky and Khari A. Thompson accounting for the four points.
• Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown watched from above as the coaches rolled, in an event presented by the Junior Celtics Academy and New Balance.
• Mazzulla celebrated the final basket and then stayed to watch a separate media-vs-media game that ended 25–22.
