Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla has always been known for his quirky personality and love for the Boston-based heist film, “The Town.”
So when he found out that his affinity for the movie landed him as a clue on Jeopardy, his reaction was refreshingly candid… or should I say nonchalantly unfazed?
“I couldn’t care less.”
Last season, during an appearance on the Pardon My Take podcast, Mazzulla shared that he watched “The Town” two to three times a week when he was an assistant coach, using it as a way to stay up late and get through his postgame work. This quirky habit caught the attention of Jeopardy’s writers, who decided to feature him in a clue under the “Heist Movies” category.
The clue read:
“Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla has admitted to watching this heist film directed by Ben Affleck several times a week.”

It was an easy $2,000 clue for Massachusetts native Jonathan Fox, who correctly answered it during the show.
