The Celtics head into Thursday’s Game 6 against the 76ers with their backs against the wall.
Boston is facing elimination for the first time this season, and they’ll have to defeat a team that’s been able to get the best of them three times in this series in order to stay alive.
Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla seems more than ready for the task at hand, given his response to being asked how he’s feeling heading into the biggest game of his coaching career.
“I’m ready for war,” said Mazzulla. Certainly the confidence you’d like to see from your head coach heading into a must-win game.
