Sam Hauser couldn’t help but laugh as he apologized for the Celtics falling one 3-pointer short of the breaking NBA record for the most in a single game on opening night.
The Celtics started off hot, but once they got within one 3-pointer of the NBA record of 29 threes with 8:54 remaining in the game, they weren’t able to hit one no matter how hard they tried.
But, this is Boston, and Hauser is aware that tying a record simply isn’t enough to fully satisfy the TD Garden faithful.
“We tried our best, man,” Hauser said after the game on NBC Sports Boston.
