The Boston Celtics consistently rely on the three point shooting and they were doing a great job on both ends during their winning streak. The were continually shooting over 40% from three and they were shutting down opponents.
Against the Los Angeles Lakers, it was a completely different story. The Lakers shot 47.4% from three point range and the Celtics shot just 25.9%. The Celtics hit rock bottom on both ends and it happened against one of the last teams you’d expect.
This is the second loss this season to one of the worst teams in the league and once again raises all kinds of consistency issues for the Celtics.
