BOSTON, MA -- Ime Udoka spoke with media following Boston's 88-87 win over the 76ers on Wednesday night. On the narrow victory, Udoka said he was "Not really going to apologize for an ugly win. ... We did what we were supposed to do defensively."
On Al Horford's first game back with the Celtics against the 76ers, Udoka knew that the matchup against their former team meant something. "It probably means a little more for myself, Al and Josh because we've been there."
On Horford, Udoka said "He’s a prideful guy. None of us loved how it went for him in Philadelphia and the team in general...One stop, one blip on the radar doesn’t define his whole career & I think he’s shown who he really is."
Udoka also added that "I don't think we used him properly" when he was an assistant coach in Philadelphia.
On Jaylen Brown and his lingering issues, Udoka was asked if Brown had tweaked or reinjured anything in the last few minutes of play. "No, he didn't say anything. I thought he had a pretty good effort possession and that's all I was looking from him tonight"
