Celtics become first team in NBA history to not attempt a free throw in a game

The Celtics made NBA history Tuesday night, becoming the first team ever to not attempt a single free throw in an entire game.

That’s right. It had never happened – not once – until Boston didn’t take any in a 104-91 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. Somewhere in heaven, Tommy Heinsohn is yelling at the refs.

“Another day in the NBA,” Tatum told reporters, shaking his head for several seconds.
