Ime Udoka was pretty clear when asked about the mindset of the Boston Celtics ahead of Game 6 vs the Miami Heat.
Boston head coach said he wants his players to be aggressive and respond well after their win in Game 5.
“Our mindset it to come out and be aggressive like we did last game. Respond well to wins and not just when our back is against the wall,” Udoka told media pregame.
If the Celtics win tonight, they will close out the series and will advance to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2010. For their part, the Heat want to even the series and force a Game 7 on Sunday. Miami ruled Tyler Herro out with a left groin strain.
Whoever wins the series will face the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals. Game 1 will take place on June 2.
