Joe Mazzulla on Celtics’ three-point shooting in Game 1 loss: ‘for the most part, we fought for good looks’

The most efficient offense in NBA history helped Boston raise Banner 18 last season, in large part to their three-point shooting. They followed up that feat by making the most threes by a team this year: 1,457 3FGM, shattering their 2024 total of 1,351.

In Game 1 of their second round series of the Knicks, they broke another record, missing 45 triples in the NBA Playoffs. Leave it to Magic Johnson to twist the knife a little more.

That might seem like a dubious distinction for a team looking to win back-to-back championships, but three-point shooting has been their M.
