Boston Celtics break NBA season 3s record in 123-103 victory over the Phoenix Suns
Boston hit 14 of 39 from three point range to take season total to 1,370, racing past previous best of 1,363 in 2022-23 by Golden State
Jaylen Brown scored 31 points and the Boston Celtics broke the NBA record for three-pointers in a season in a 123-103 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Friday night.
Boston were 14 of 39 from three-point range to push their season total to 1,370. The Golden State Warriors held the previous record with 1,363 in 2022-23.
After having their nine-game winning streak halted in their previous game, the Celtics coasted to the victory.
Jayson Tatum added 23 points, eight rebounds and eight assists. Kristaps Porzingis had 15 points before he walked to the locker room holding a towel to the bridge of his nose early in the final quarter after getting hit by Cody Martin’s elbow while the Suns player was driving to the basket.
Porzingis raised both arms and waved to the crowd as he headed into the tunnel. He returned to the bench late in the game and the team said the cut required stitches.
Devin Booker led the Suns with 37 points. Phoenix have lost five straight.
