Here are the takeaways as the Celtics made history with their poor 3-point shooting in a 91-82 loss to the depleted Clippers on Wednesday.
1. Give this to the Celtics: They continue to find creative ways to lose. On Christmas Day, they gave fans just enough hope they might beat the Bucks until the defending champions took their first lead of the game with 30 seconds remaining. On Monday, they lost to perhaps the most COVID-depleted team in the NBA.
And on Wednesday, they shot an eye-popping 4-for-42 from 3-point range, falling to the Clippers (who were also very short-handed without Kawhi Leonard or Paul George).
