Speaking to reporters ahead of Wednesday's matchup against the Chicago Bulls, head coach Joe Mazzulla said he welcomes opponents blitzing Tatum. For Mazzulla, spacing is key when Tatum is being blitzed, and opens up opportunity for mismatches to be found and taken advantage of.

In their win in Boston earlier in the season, LaVine led the Bulls with 36 points, but will not have the same offensive firepower in the rematch.To make matters worse for the Bulls, the Celtics have upgraded superstar forward Jayson Tatum to active after being listed as questionable with right knee tendinopathy.

Jayson Tatum and Joe Mazzulla aren't happy with the way the Celtics are playing, but they're also taking a positive mindset through it.
