Bulls coach Tiago Splitter: “Boston is one of the best teams in the league off the ball. It’s impressive how they play all those flare situations. It’s really difficult to be aware of the flares that are coming. … They have a bunch of shooters that can come off those off e same time, you have Tatum iso’d in the top, and he could drive the ball anytime. … So it’s a really difficult team to guard.”

Mazzulla on this:
“It was cool. It was great. I appreciate my family. Just, obviously the job we have, unfortunately, the world revolves around me, and my family always has to do shit for me all the time, and it was good to kind of put my stuff aside and just be a part of someone else's story, and being there with his dad and family there, and it's cool.
“Like, as a coach, you’re trying to have an impact, and then you see a group of coaches that we have at Xaverian, and they impacted my kid's life the last four years. It was good to say thanks to another coach, and it was good to see him compete. I don't know if they won or not, but he's got to keep getting better.”

Joe Mazzulla is attending his son's senior night before tonight's Celtics-Bulls game (Xaverian vs. Malden Catholic in Westwood). He will not hold his typical pregame news conference but will be back at TD Garden in time for tipoff, per the team.
Mazzulla spoke with reporters at morning shootaround instead.

Payton Pritchard on Paul George: "He's really a complete player. Obviously, I knew offensively he's gifted and can score on all three levels, but his defense is phenomenal, and I didn't know how good it was until I've seen him up close.
"Like, he gets his hands on a lot of balls and is in passing lanes and just, he wins at the margins, and I think that's what's made him such a tremendous player for a long time – a two-way player."

Joe Mazzulla said tonight's game showcased "the absolute best version" of Payton Pritchard.
"The sky's the limit for him. As we continue to grow as a team and he continues to grow as a player, being a complete player on both ends of the floor really helps us take it to a different level. So he's got more in the tank. He's a kid that can continue to get better and better. I like pushing him, I like coaching him and love him like a brother."

Halftime: Celtics 78, Bulls 49
Payton Pritchard has 20 points on 7-of-10. Jayson Tatum has 16 on 7-of-11.
The Celtics are shooting 63% and have nine steals. The Bulls are shooting 31.8% and have 13 turnovers.
It'll be interesting to see whether Mazzulla pushes for point differential in the second half if things stay this way.
