The Celtics hit 21 3-pointers in 30-point route vs. the Hornets

Tonight, the Boston Celtics won their second-straight game, hitting 21 3-pointers in their 116-86 route of the Charlotte Hornets.

The Boston Celtics won their second-straight game tonight on the heels of 21 made 3-pointers in a 30-point dominant victory over the Charlotte Hornets as the Celtics find themselves back at .500.

Though the start of the game looked like a lot of the recent Celtic losses,  falling down by nine points early in the first quarter, Boston ultimately only trailed by one at the end of the first. The Celtics dominated the second and third quarters, outscoring the Hornets 73-44, including buzzer beating 3pointers to end both frames by Marcus Smart and Jayson Tatum.

Tonight’s victory was led by the mirage of 3-point shooting, as the Celtics hit 21 3-pointers by eight different players, led by Jaylen Brown, who hit 5-of-8 from downtown.
