BOSTON — Just a few hours after they received their 2024 championship rings, the Celtics tied an NBA record for most three-pointers in a single game, hitting 29 threes en route to a 132-109 blowout win over the Knicks.
The thrashing — a physical manifestation of Mazzulla Ball — fittingly came after Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck deemed the Celtics “one of the finest teams ever assembled in the NBA”, and Commissioner Adam Silver proclaimed them the “winningest franchise in NBA history.”
In every sense, Banner Night exceeded expectations for the fans who inundated TD Garden hours before tip-off.
