The Celtics defeated the Pelicans 122-90 and won their first win of the season. After the game, Celtics coach Mazzula was interviewed by the media.

Talking about the team's response after starting with 0 wins and 3 losses, Mazzula said: "I mean, no one will be happy, but we know very well that the team has gone through too many changes, and this takes time. We only left 5 to 6 old players, and the past playing habits and discipline will not automatically continue. There is no guarantee. So, we must re-cultivate these (habits and discipline), and obviously, we have to help the new players find their position (in the team) again."
