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 did their best, firing up 13 shots from 3-point range in an attempt to break the NBA record for 3s in a game — and missing them all. In the end, all the defending champions could do in their 132-109 victory over the New York Knicks on Tuesday night was tie the record of 29 3s made by Milwaukee in 2020.

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.
