The Boston Celtics are one of the most prolific shooting teams in the NBA, and the 3-point shot has been a major weapon for head coach Joe Mazzulla on the offensive end. Consistency, however, has been an issue for the Celtics.
Boston ranked second in the league in shots from 3 in the entire NBA and connects on 37.7% of shots from deep. Things get a little more troublesome for the Celts in parsing between game outcomes. The Celtics are No. 2 in shots from 3 during wins, launching 42.1 3-point attempts per contest. In those games, Boston shoots 40.5%, good for the No. 6 rank in the NBA.
Losses, however, are a different story.
Nagging injuries and other issues have kept Marcus Smart, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, Al Horford, and Robert Williams III apart for the vast majority of the season. https://t.co/CsPbzBWWtH
