Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla comes into every game equipped with loads of data, stats, and sets of plays that collectively, give the Celtics the best chance at success.

But as Tuesday’s game against Cleveland played out, there was one area of play that really stood out as a must-win category for the Celtics - rebounding.

“Win the glass … win the game!” Mazzulla told his team during a time-out in the fourth quarter.
