It’s going to take all of us,’” Tagovailoa said. “And he said, ‘I appreciate it, but don’t count me out yet.’”Hill ended up not taking the field in Miami’s 30-0 shutout of the Jets on Sunday, marking the first time he has missed a regular-season game since being traded to Miami from Kansas City last offseason.Still, the Dolphins recorded 290 yards of total offense.

Why Joe Mazzulla believes Celtics are playing ideal brand of basketball after impressive week

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 03:30:38 GMT

Jaylen Brown was in the midst of one of the best stretches of his basketball career, and he was feeling it. The Celtics were about to put away the Magic for good, and he sensed it.Midway through the fourth quarter, Brown delivered a dagger. Jayson Tatum corralled a Magic miss, and gave it to Brown. His hot hands did the rest. He took three dribbles and pulled up from 28 feet. The shot, of course, went in. TD Garden erupted. The Magic called timeout. Brown saluted the crowd.And on the sideline, his coach showed a rare case of emotion. He pumped his left fist with authority. And he let out a big roar as the Celtics came back to the huddle. Sunday’s victory over the Magic was in no doubt.“I think the players need to see that sometimes,” Mazzulla said. “I do, like everybody else, care about winning, and I do have fun. And I just thought it was a moment to show, I think we’re starting to play what I would call Celtic basketball.“From a mentality standpoint, from a toughness standpo...

He may have been mocked by a social media post from ESPN that suggested he was playing selfish basketball. His overall numbers may be down, but his growth on both sides of the ball has been apparent – and even more so this week.Brown finished off his best week of the season in a big way on Sunday afternoon. He scored 31 points, which included five 3-pointers and 17 points in the fourth. He added six assists as he continued to develop as a dangerous facilitator. He was locked in defensively again. His dominant performance led the way for the Celtics as they ran away from the Magic with a 114-97 victory, which capped another perfect homestand at TD Garden.“It’s been really fun to watch him grow as a player this year,” Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said.Jayson Tatum ...
