Boston Celtics’ Joe Mazzulla on road record – Our players are good everywhere

Boston Celtics have gone 14-1 in their last 15 games. On Monday night, they registered a 117-103 win against the Memphis Grizzlies to claim the franchise’s first 6-0 road trip. 

This win pushed the Celtics’ away record to 32-7 in the ongoing season and they are now two wins away from tying the NBA single-season road mark. The Warriors were 34-7 away from home in the 2015-16 season and the Celtics would look to match that record when they face New York Knicks and Orlando Magic on April 8 and 9 respectively, away from home.

When Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla was asked “Why are you guys so good on the road?”

Mazzulla did not hesitate before answering. “I would venture to say that our guys are good everywhere,” he said.

The gaffer added it is all about playing consistent basketball to reap the desired results.

“It’s more about just playing consistent basketball,” Mazzulla said. “But I think each year you develop different kind of strengths, especially with the same team. And this year it just happened to be kind of our road mentality.”

Not only the Celtics have won consistently on the road, but also they have won in style, outscoring their opponents by 404 points. They have registered 23 double-digit wins while playing away.

Celtics forward Al Horford said it is special that they are ticking the right boxes as a unit and wants the team to continue in the same manner.

“We’ve been very focused and I feel like even last year, we were good — but especially in the playoffs I felt like we did a really good job on the road controlling the tempo and being able to play a certain way,” Celtics forward Al Horford said. “It’s pretty special, the way that we’re playing and some of the things we’re doing here.”

The Celtics will next take on the Miami Heat at home on Wednesday.
