Their victory over the Nuggets on Friday night in the preseason suggests they won't be letting up anytime soon. In their 107-103 victory over Denver, Boston made 61 3-pointers, which was good for 62 percent of their 98 field goal attempts during the game. Stats guru Dick Like claims that those 61 tries were the most made by the Celtics in a regular season or postseason game in the team's history.
Despite shooting only 32 percent from three in the game, Boston was able to make 20 threes because of their large number of attempts. Despite being significantly outshot by the Nuggets (43 percent), Boston overcame a dismal shooting night overall (37.8 percent) because to their 61 3-point attempts, which almost doubled their total (32) in the win. In the triumph, 13 different Celtics made 3-pointers, with Payton Pritchard making six of his 12 tries. Additionally, three of Jayson Tatum's seven shots from downtown were made.
