Thanks to scoring from Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, and Sam Hauser, the Boston Celtics defeated the Miami Heat 147-129 on the road in another game of the 2025/26 NBA regular season. Head coach Joe Mazra stated that the team's offensive discipline was a key factor in the victory.

According to the data, Jaylen Brown scored 43 points and 7 assists for the Boston Celtics in this game, Jayson Tatum scored 25 points and 11 assists, and Sam Hauser contributed 23 points.

Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazra said, "We got off to a great start in terms of rhythm, and I think we executed it pretty well. Sometimes when players execute well and get good opportunities over and over, things just happen naturally. The key is to stay disciplined when you're making shots and keep looking for good opportunities, and I think everyone did that."

"But with about four minutes left in the second quarter, our execution dropped, giving our opponents a chance to come back at halftime. They hit a three-pointer, but fortunately we didn't make any mistakes and were still able to get good shooting opportunities."

Joe Mazra points out, "Jaylen Brown always adjusts and responds in time, which shows his commitment and competitive mentality. He can see the situation on the court every time, make the right judgments and seize opportunities when he has the ball. And every game is different in its success. Jayson Tatum does a great job in rebounding and drawing double teams, and then the rhythm naturally returns to his control."

“Nimias Kta is also a very good player. Now he can shoot and get to the free-throw line, which will force opponents to double-team and over-help, putting a lot of pressure on them.”

In addition, Joe Mazra added, "Every game is different, but we have many players who can contribute to the victory."
