When the final buzzer sounded, the Celtics had made 29-of-61 three-point attempts—good for a 47.5% clip. Jayson Tatum led the team with 37 points on eight makes beyond the arc, and every other starter finished with at least three triples against New York.

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.

Jayson Tatum continued Boston’s Banner 18 celebration by scoring 37 points and making eight of the Celtics’ NBA record-tying 29 3-pointers as Boston ran away with a 132-109 victory over the New York Knicks on opening night.
