Celtics Break NBA Record for most of 3-Pointers made in one season, and the goal for attempts is not far away

The Boston Celtics are on average 48 3-point attempts per match this season, by far the most in the competition and in fact the most ever. With the number of shooters they have, it is no surprise on that kind of volume that they officially made more 3s in one season than any team in NBA history.

It was Payton Pritchard That number 1.364 with a 25-footer early in the second quarter against Phoenix appeared against Phoenix on Friday. After completing the 123-103 victory over the SunbatheThe total 3-point number from Boston is now at 1,370 and has five games to play.

Boston passed the 2023 Golden State WarriorsThe 1,363 triples made almost 200 fewer attempts. You can see below that the Celtics 2024-25 actually made 3-Pointers with a lower percentage than all the top five shooting squadrons except the 2018-19 Houston Rocketswho stood in the back James Harden With Daryl Morey’s analytical license to launch most 3s in competition history – a record that will soon be broken by this year’s Celtics.

The Celtics have led no fewer than three players who made at least 240 3S this season Derrick WhiteThat on Friday the first player in the franchise history was who made 250 3-Pointers and the first in the NBA history that adds 75 blocked shots to that number in the single season-a proof of his two-way exit in a team dedicated in that principle.

How long will this record be? It depends on it. On the one hand, 3-point volume does not go off quickly, but on the other hand there are not many teams armed with so many shooters as the Celtics, which almost always work with five legitimate 3-point threats on the floor. If there is something, it will probably be the Celtics that break their own record in the coming years.
