Joe Mazzulla had several painful second-guesses that loomed large after the Celtics' Game 2 loss to the Knicks on Wednesday.

Trailing by one with 24 seconds left in Wednesday’s Game 2 of the Celtics’ second-round playoff series with the Knicks, Joe Mazzulla called a timeout. Mazzulla designed a play for Jayson Tatum to get a running start with the ball thanks to a screen at mid-court that would create a runway for him going at Knicks center Mitchell Robinson and then the hoop.

Joe Mazzulla let the Celtics' final possession play out in real time despite having an extra timeout to utilize.
