Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla loves to push his players, and his halftime challenge sparked the team's comeback win over the 76ers on Sunday.

Joe Mazzulla reminded the Celtics starters that he had the option to sit them on the bench, according to Tatum. The post Jayson Tatum details ‘honest’ halftime moment that sparked 26-point comeback appeared first on Boston.

Tatum and Jaylen Brown played the entire second half as Boston fought back against a feisty Philadelphia squad that shot 46.9 percent from 3-point range without three usual starters including Joel Embiid and Paul George. Ultimately, Boston’s hot shooting and improved defensive intensity turned the game around after Mazzulla’s halftime speech.
