Celtics Set NBA Record for Lowest-Scoring 1st Quarter in Playoff History

After shooting 36.3 percent from the field in their 102-101 Game 1 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday, the Boston Celtics couldn't shake their offensive woes when Game 2 rolled around Tuesday evening.

According to Basketball-Reference.com (h/t CBSSports.com's Matt Moore), the Celtics set a new record for postseason futility when they scored an all-time low seven points in the first quarter.

All told, the Celtics shot just 3-of-23 from the field in the opening frame, including a ghastly 0-of-6 from beyond the arc.
