The Celtics executed their game plan on Wednesday night at TD Garden.
Ever since Joe Mazzulla took over as Boston’s head coach, the Celtics have crafted a strategy on the hardwood that relies on a bombardment of shots from beyond the arc.
And as expected, the Celtics fired salvo after salvo from 3-point range against arguably the top contender in the Western Conference in the OKC Thunder.
Of the 30 points Boston accrued in the first quarter, 27 of them came via 3-pointers. At the half, Boston had attempted 36 shots from 3-point range — the most launched in a half in NBA history.
