One of the main points of emphasis of then-new Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka was upping the level of ball movement for the Celtics above that of their rather underwhelming levels of recent seasons.
And Udoka managed to instill a culture of ball movement to great effect in his inaugural campaign as head coach, Boston’s ability to spray the rock around the court with dizzying results on their opponents was one of several major components to the 2022 NBA Finals run.
So it probably should not surprise anyone to find the Celtics among the teams featured in a recent clip put together by the NBA of the best hockey assists (multiple, quick passes leading to a scorer connecting as a result) of the 2021-22 season.
Take a look at the clip embedded below to see how All-NBA forward Jayson Tatum threaded quite the needle to multiple Boston big men on the way to a bucket for yourself.
