Joe Mazzulla: “I would say, when you have games throughout a season when you lose because effort in certain situations, tonight, they were mistakes with effort.

“But when you have a few games in the bank where you make mistakes without effort, it’s harder to acceptable tonight. I thought tonight we had great intentionality on the game plan. Great intentionality on the details on both ends of the floor. 

“I just thought we made mistakes with effort, and those are the things that are going to happen. And as long as we keep it that way, and we continue to get better, that’s the most important thing.”
