Speaking to the media after Tuesday's win, Mazzulla said that the play of White, who scored 14 of his 20 points in the fourth quarter, is the type of play that will make the team a completely different team.

The Boston Celtics made the trip to Ohio's Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse to face the East-leading Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday night, and it promised to be one of the toughest tilts left on the Celtics' 2024-25 regular season schedule.

Boston took a 12-point lead into the fourth quarter Tuesday night at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, just as it did in the same building back on Dec. 1. The Cavaliers rallied to win that first matchup. In the rematch, the Celtics held strong, winning 112-105 in a battle of the top two teams in the Eastern Conference standings.
