The Boston Celtics won their 18th NBA title last Monday night, beating the Dallas Mavericks 106-88, ending the series 4-1.
In a post-match interview, coach Joe Mazzulla revealed that Pep Guardiola gave hints about the Celtics’ tactical system.
“Dallas has one of the smartest defenses. We had to be creative to fight them. Pep helped me with transitions and movement of the players,” he said.
Ahead of the first game of the Finals, Mazzulla and Guardiola were photographed chatting on the court at TD Garden. The Manchester City manager was also present in the first leg of the decider.
