BOSTON — As the Celtics began the defense of the 18th NBA title in their history with a banner raising and ring ceremony Tuesday night at TD Garden, head coach Joe Mazzulla made sure to remind them that the 2023-24 season officially is over.
“Is this ’24-25 team great yet? No, because we haven’t been in a game. It just takes time and every season is different. Assuming that you’re just going to in the past doesn’t necessarily mean this is going to work now. You have to stay open-minded to do something different.
The Knicks, of course, were eliminated in the second round of the 2024 playoffs by the Pacers, who lost in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Celtics.
