On this day: Boston Celtics beat Utah Jazz without making a 3-pointer

On this day, the Boston Celtics beat the Jazz without making a single 3-pointer and beat the Knicks despite New York hitting every one of their free throws.

On this day in Boston Celtics history, two highly unusual games occurred — both within the last 20 years of the NBA’s history. The first of the two contests was a game on this date in the year 2000 that saw the Celtics play the New York Knicks on the road in Madison Square Garden in which their Atlantic Division opponent did not miss a single free throw throughout the course of the entire game.

Of course, it helps when the opposing team only shoots a total of just 9 free throws throughout the course of the entire game, which was the case with the Knicks that night.

Unfortunately for the Knicks, it would not be enough to secure the win, with New York falling to Boston 92-86.
