Three-pointers have become synonymous with the Boston Celtics over the last few seasons. They’ve used the power of math to win the margins night in and night out, and sustain a championship level of success.
“I feel like some teams should maybe not take as many threes but those teams should not be us,” Payton Pritchard replied when asked about the upward trend in threes around the league Saturday. “We’re the best at doing it. Why would we change?”
Just two days later, Pritchard and the Cs fired up their season-low in long-range attempts, shooting just 33 of them in their 108-104 loss to the Orlando Magic.
