Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla praised his side for making "the right reads" during their victory over the Brooklyn Nets.

The Celtics registered their fifth win in six games as they prevailed 148-111 after a superb shooting display at TD Garden.

Boston registered an effective field goal percentage of 80.8%, the highest by any NBA team during the shot clock era (since 1954-55).

They also shot 64.7% on 3-pointers (22 of 34) – the best mark in franchise history in a game in which they attempted at least 25 shots from beyond the arc.

"I thought we just did a good job reading the game," Mazzulla said. "I thought we made the right reads throughout most of the entire game."

The coach also hailed Nikola Vucevic, who scored 28 points and 11 rebounds from the bench.

"I thought Vooch really looked comfortable in his offensive reads and his offensive screening," Mazzulla continued. "He unlocked a lot of stuff for us."

The Celtics will look to continue their strong form against the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday, when Jayson Tatum could return after an extended spell on the sidelines with a ruptured achilles.

It remains to be seen whether the six-time NBA All-Star will feature, and he is conscious of potentially disrupting his team-mates' momentum.

"It doesn't mean that I'm coming back, or I'm not, it's just following the plan. So it's just another step," he said.

"I don't know the percentage [chance]. I just know I feel a little bit better every day. I just try to focus on that.

"I'm just hyper aware of what's going on. I think it would just stem from that. Obviously, I know what I bring to the table and bring to the team. But I'm also aware that these guys have been playing extremely well."
