On Wednesday’s edition of Zolak & Bertrand, Celtics Head Coach Joe Mazzulla joined the show and said they need more out of everyone if they’re going to beat the 76ers.

• It's not just Jayson Tatum...

  Marc Bertrand: Joe (Mazzulla), do you need more out of Jayson Tatum to come back and win this series?

  Joe Mazzulla: I think we need more out of all of us. Me, Jayson (Tatum), Jaylen (Brown), (Marcus) Smart, Al (Horford), our team, we rely on each other all year. And like I said, I know our guys. I trust our guys play with the intention of wanting to win and playing hard every game. So, you know, we all just have to expect more from each other heading into the game tomorrow.
