Mazzulla will keep fouling Robinson; Thibodeau won't adjust

Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla will continue to employ the "Hack-A-Mitch" strategy against Knicks center Mitchell Robinson due to his poor free-throw shooting. This tactic involves intentionally fouling Robinson, forcing him to shoot free throws. Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau has not adjusted his starting lineup or strategy despite Robinson's struggles from the free-throw line, which is currently at 30% in the series. This means the Celtics will likely continue to foul Robinson. The "Hack-A-Mitch" strategy has been in effect for the first three games of the Eastern Conference semifinals. Thibodeau is considering adjustments, but has not made any changes before Game 4.
