The Celtics are already breaking NBA records just three games into the young season.
After dropping 42 on the Detroit Pistons in the first quarter Saturday night, Boston surpassed the league record for most 1Q points through the beginning three games of a season.
The Celtics have scored a total of 118 points in their first three opening frames, breaking the previous record of 114 held by the 1991-92 Golden State Warriors, according to NBC Sports Boston’s Dick Lipe.
Boston kicked off the new season by scoring 43 points against the New York Knicks in their first quarter of action since clinching the championship in June.
