The Boston Celtics tied a league record on the opening night of 2024 with 29 made 3-pointers. The result was a season-opening destruction of the New York Knicks.
These record-threatening games are happening more frequently with the 3-pointer serving as an increasing focal point of NBA base offenses.
As most basketball bettors can tell you, NBA odds and outcomes are increasingly driven by which team hits their 3-pointers on any given night.
