The Celtics showcased their strategic approach under new head coach Joe Mazzulla by focusing on 3-point shots, hitting a franchise record of 63 attempts against the Thunder. However, despite their aggressive shooting strategy, their performance waned, particularly in the second half, leading to a second defeat against a well-defended Thunder team. The reliance on long-range shooting could undermine their chances against tough competitors if they cannot maintain consistency, as evidenced by their poor second-half shooting percentages in crucial games.
"The Celtics executed their game plan on Wednesday night at TD Garden, relying on a bombardment of shots from beyond the arc against the OKC Thunder."
"While a reliance on those shots kept Boston afloat in the first half, they only connected on five of their 27 3-pointers in the second half."
