Joe Mazzulla’s strategic tech foul: a bold move that paid off for the Celtics

Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla's recent suggestion to incorporate hockey-style "power plays" and fights in basketball has sparked debate. During a game against the Washington Wizards, Mazzulla received a technical foul for arguing a call. He later admitted to intentionally provoking the incident to "manipulate the environment" and energize his team, which went on to win the game.
