Do the Celtics need to fix their offense after the Pacers loss?

In the aftermath of the Boston Celtics‘ recent loss to the Indiana Pacers in the quarterfinals of the NBA’s new in-season tournament, questions loom over the team’s offensive play of late. Once positioned in the top tier of the league’s scoring charts, the Celtics have since witnessed a concerning dip in their production on that end of the court, currently at the ninth spot in offensive rating over the last nine games.

The crux of the issue lies in a pervasive problem for Boston in recent games — turnovers. The team finds itself mired in the 25th spot in turnover rate, with a glaring 15% of possessions ending in turnovers over the past nine contests. This trend is hampering their offensive flow, leading to a struggle in executing plays and a noticeable breakdown in spacing.

CLNS Media reporter Bobby Manning recently broke down the situation after speaking with Boston head coach Joe Mazzulla after practice on Wednesday, check it out in the clip below.
