Celtics Face Challenges Amid Season Slump

News summary

The Boston Celtics, currently holding a 28-12 record and sitting in second place in the Eastern Conference, are facing challenges with their outside shooting, ranking 15th in the league this season with a 36.2% success rate. Despite leading the league in 3-pointers made, the team has struggled recently, ranking last in 3-point shooting over their last five games, which has raised concerns about their championship prospects. Coach Joe Mazzulla pointed out that the team is missing open shots and suggested that their shooting woes might be tied to mental toughness. Additionally, the Celtics have faced lineup disruptions due to injuries, impacting their performance and rhythm on the court. Analysts believe that the Celtics' recent downturn could be attributed to a lack of time together as a full unit, rather than a deeper issue. Nonetheless, the Celtics remain favorites for the title, albeit with increased vulnerability compared to last season.
