Boston Celtics head coach talks about what went wrong in the second half

The Boston Celtics' second-half performance was hard to watch for their fans. After the game, head coach Joe Mazzulla highlighted the Thunder's defense as the key to his team's struggles during the game.

"They do a great job of taking advantage of poor spacing," Mazzulla said. "I just thought in the beginning of the third [quarter], we had some good looks that didn't go in. After that, we just couldn't get our spacing and they took advantage of that, with their activity."

Boston made just eight of 40 (20%) field goal attempts in the second half and went 9-of-46 (20%) on 3-pointers for the game.
