Jaylen Brown scores 41, Sam Hauser hits 10 threes in Celtics win over Hawks
Jaylen Brown dropped 41 in his hometown Saturday. (AP Photo/Mike Stewart)It’s not every night that a player becomes the first person in NBA history to achieve a certain feat. But Sam Hauser was having a far from ordinary night on Saturday.
Against the Hawks in Atlanta, Hauser hit 10 triples and became the first player in NBA history to attempt 20+ 3-point field goals without attempting a 2-point shot.
He went 10-21 from beyond the arc on Saturday. That percentage would have been far higher had he not begun chasing Boston’s single-game 3-point record in garbage time; he’d been 10-15 at one point in the fourth quarter before missing his last six attempts.
