Celtics Set New NBA Record for 3-Pointers

The Boston Celtics have set a new NBA record for the most 3-pointers made in a single season, surpassing the previous record held by the 2022-23 Golden State Warriors. This achievement was solidified during a game against the Phoenix Suns, where Payton Pritchard's three-pointer marked the team's 1,364th of the season. The Celtics, led by players like Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Kristaps Porzingis, have emphasized a high-volume 3-point shooting strategy under coach Joe Mazzulla. As of now, Boston is averaging 17.8 3-pointers per game, with a shooting percentage of 36.9%, ranking them eighth in the league for efficiency. This record-breaking performance comes as the Celtics hold the second spot in the Eastern Conference, just behind the Cleveland Cavaliers.
