After the Boston Celtics’ loss to the Indiana Pacers, head coach Joe Mazzulla repeatedly voiced his frustration over what he considered an “illegal screen” by Pascal Siakam prior to the game-winning shot. Siakam’s screen set up a crucial basket for the Pacers, who secured a 98-96 victory. This incident follows Jaylen Brown’s recent criticism of officiating, leading to a $35,000 fine. Mazzulla’s singular focus on the screen in postgame interviews suggests potential repercussions from the NBA for his comments.
