Celtics bench responds after Joe Mazzulla’s backups-only film session
Published Thu, 14 Nov 2024 09:50:58 GMT
While the Celtics’ win in Washington on Monday was dominant and never in doubt, it was not exactly complete.The Celtics led by 33 entering the fourth quarter when Joe Mazzulla pulled his starters. But the bench submitted an ugly effort against the Wizards’ backups. They were outscored, 32-18, and committed eight turnovers. Their lead dwindled to as little as 15 with 1:33 to go, and while their victory was not threatened, the performance was still alarming.So much so that on Tuesday, when they returned to Boston, Mazzulla called for a backups-only film session to go over what went wrong.The message was clearly received. On Wednesday, faced with the same situation after the Celtics’ starters built a 38-point lead over the Pacers entering the fourth, the bench had an encouraging bounce-back effort. They erupted for 46 points – which marked the highest scoring final period in TD Garden history – as they pushed the lead to as big as 53. They didn’t commit a single turnover in a dominant ...New Patriots cornerback arrives with Willie McGinest, Jack Jones ties

Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) says the search continues for a man wanted on a Canada-wide arrest warrant despite recent videos on social media of citizens claiming to know where he is. Federal offender Michael Stamatakos, 31, is wanted for once again breaching his statutory release. The same suspect was wanted in February for the same reason. He was taken into custody a few weeks later when he was recognized while checking himself into a hospital in Hamilton.Last month, the TikTok account “Toronto’s Joker”uploaded videos of a man who resembles Stamatakos and appears to mock Toronto police. In one, he stands in front of a Toronto police cruiser, sticking his tongue out. The TikTok account has since been deleted or suspended.More recently, one TikTok video recorded in Durham Region of someone being taken into custody outside of a residence in Oshawa went viral, with many claiming the suspect was Stamatakos.

ATLANTA (AP) — The troubled jail in Atlanta where former President Donald Trump surrendered in August is in such bad shape that inmates are able to make weapons from broken flooring and pipes, an attorney for the sheriff’s office told state lawmakers Thursday.But Amelia Joiner also said the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office had made progress in recent months to reduce overcrowding across its jail facilities.Joiner was among several people who testified on the first day of hearings before a state Senate subcommittee studying problems with the jail system in Georgia’s most populous county.
