Even though they were not moving the ball at quite the level they were in the 2021-22 NBA season under former head coach Ime Udoka, the Boston Celtics leaned heavily into an assist-heavy style of play under head coach Joe Mazzulla. That movement was part of what makes the offensively-oriented style of play that has become known as “Mazzulla Ball” work.
And with their 3-pointer heavy approach to the game during the 2022-23 season, there were more than a handful of exotic passing sequences that were Mazzulla Ball was at its best.

To see the passes that earned the Celtics a spot in this clip (as well as the other teams so included), take a look at the clip embedded above.
