The Celtics tied the NBA record for most threes in a game and won by 30 on opening night. They still got booed.

The Celtics did their best, firing up 13 shots from 3-point range in an attempt to break the NBA record for 3s in a game — and missing them all. In the end, all the defending champions could do in their 132-109 victory over the New York Knicks on Tuesday night was tie the record of 29 3s made by Milwaukee in 2020.

The Celtics tried their darndest, to break the record, attempting 13 three-pointers down the stretch with the game out of reach. The sold-out TD Garden crowd got excited every time they attempted a three-pointer, but were noticeably dejected every time they missed.
