After taking home a win in each of the first two games of their series against the Atlanta Hawks, the Boston Celtics dropped Game 3. It was an ugly loss, as even though the Celtics were able to shoot extremely well from the field, they just couldn’t get enough stops to match their offensive success.
Game 3 was defined by Trae Young’s success in the lane, Atlanta’s bench’s success shooting the three-point shot, and Boston’s inability to corral a defensive rebound. During media availability the next day, head coach Joe Mazzulla apparently gave Robert Williams a message to relay to the media.
“I guess Joe Mazzulla wanted Robert Williams to give a message to the media: ‘Get an MFing rebound,” tweeted Jay King of The Athletic.

Atlanta pulled in 11 offensive rebounds in Game 3, but this wasn’t a new occurrence.
