The Boston Celtics are unmatched beyond the arc. Friday, with Payton Pritchard at 3 points against the Phoenix Suns, the Celtics set the NBA record for most of the 3 in one season.
The record shot quickly came in possession, Pritchard hitting the shot of several feet beyond the arc at the start of the victory of Boston 123-103.
With the bucket, the Celtics passed the Golden State Warriors 2022-23 on the list of a single 3-point season. The Warriors reached 1,363 3S on 82 regular season games. After Friday’s match, the Celtics are up to 1,370 to 77 games.

The record season of Golden State was led by Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. The two players have an average of more than 10 attempts of 3 points per game. Curry posted a percentage of shooting .427 beyond the arc this season. Thompson made a percentage of shooting .412 on 3s.
The main players behind the Boston record season were not as effective as Curry and Thompson. Jayson Tatum leads the Celtics with 10.1 attempts of 3 points per game this season. It has a percentage of shooting .348 beyond the arc. Derrick White finished second in the team with 9.1 to 3 points attempted per game. He pulls .381 on 3s. Pritchard is the most effective 3 -point shooting game for Celtics this season, with an average of 7.9 3s per game and pulling 0.411 on these attempts.
If the pursuit of the Celtics of the 3 -point record in a single season seems familiar, it is because the team almost set it last season. The Celtics 2023-24 finished with 1,351 3s, only 12 behind the 2022-23 Warriors. A similar casting of characters played with the Celtics during the NBA 2023-24 season. Tatum and White once again opened the way in attempts of 3 points per game.
The Houston Rockets rank fourth on the list of 3 points in a single season with 1,323. The Celtics 2022-23 are fifth on the list of a single season of all time with 1,315 3 points.
