Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla quips that he wished ref a 'Merry Christmas' in irate postgame outburst

If it looked as though Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla was irate with referees at the end of Thursday night’s loss to the Chicago Bulls, that would be incorrect to assume. At least, that is what Mazzulla would like people to think. 

Following the 117-108 loss, Mazzulla charged the court looking to have words with official Justin Van Duyne seemingly in reference to the back-to-back technicals the official gave him and Celtics forward Jaylen Brown in the fourth quarter. 

Several people had to hold Mazzulla back. He was eventually ushered off the court without incident.
