The Boston Celtics have surprised us with their ability to win games no matter who has been able to suit up for them all season long. So it should not have surprised us as much as it has that the Stay-Ready Crew was able to beat an Orlando Magic squad fighting for home court in the play-in tournament. No Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, Derrick White, Payton Pritchard, Sam Hauser, or Neemias Queta? No problem, it seems.

Maybe more than anyone, Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla was unsurprised by the outcome. "We said it all year, one through 15, whoever steps on the floor, there is an expectation to put us in position with the opportunity to win," said the Celtics coach. "Stick to the process of winning."

"Today is no different than the other 81 games from the standpoint of we had five guys that were able to play," he added.

"We had seven, eight guys, and the expectation is to put us in a position to win, to execute, to play hard, to play together," said Mazzulla. "So today is no different than the other 81 times regardless of who’s in, who’s out."

"So I think today is kind of the perfect example of a locker room, and the group of guys that we have and how important it is that everybody knows that. You know if you’re on the floor, you’re expected to play a certain way to put us in a position to win, and the guys did that tonight."
