Celtics’ 3-point barrage to open season sparks media debate on wanting to change shooting rules

The Celtics are firing away from the 3-point line again to open up the 2024-25 season, which seems to be to the dismay of some.

In their season-opening win over the Knicks, the Celtics matched the NBA’s record for most 3-pointers made in a single game with 29. They also put up a whopping 61 attempts, though 13 of those came in the final eight minutes as they were chasing the record. They followed that up by shooting 45 3-pointers in Thursday’s win over the Wizards, making 17 of them.

As Boston keeps shooting from deep, some analysts believe that its style of play might be grounds for a rule change.
