"Boston shot a season-high 66.7% (52 of 78) from the field in their 148-111 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Friday. It was the second-best field goal percentage in team history, falling just short of the 67.9% they shot against the Golden State Warriors on Nov. 21, 1984."
"The Celtics also shot 64.7% from the 3-point line Friday, which equated to an 80.8% effective field goal percentage - the highest in NBA history. Effective field goal percentage measures shooting efficiency by adjusting for the fact that 3-pointers are worth more than two-point shots."
"I thought we just did a good job reading the game. I thought we made the right reads throughout most of the entire game. I thought tonight Vooch really looked comfortable in his offensive reads and his offensive screening. He unlocked a lot of stuff for us."
The Boston Celtics delivered an exceptional offensive performance against the Brooklyn Nets, shooting 66.7% from the field and 64.7% from three-point range for an 80.8% effective field goal percentage—the highest in NBA history. This marked the second-best field goal percentage in franchise history. Jaylen Brown led the team with 28 points, nine assists, and seven rebounds, while trade deadline acquisition Nikola Vucevic contributed 28 points and 11 rebounds. All 13 Celtics players scored, and the team committed only three turnovers after halftime. Boston has won five of six games since the All-Star break and awaits the potential return of star player Jayson Tatum for an upcoming matchup against Philadelphia.
