The Boston Celtics have been shooting lights out from deep for much of the 2024-25 NBA regular season, and Wednesday night’s 128-118 victory over the visiting Portland Trail Blazers at TD Garden was yet another example of the defending champion’s incredible ability to smother opponents with shots from long range.

Despite the absence of Jayson Tatum, Kristaps Porzingis, and Jrue Holiday due to injuries, the Celtics performed admirably, with Derrick White and Payton Pritchard serving as Boston’s version of the Golden State Warriors’ legendary “Splash Brothers” duo of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.

Speaking of the Dubs, Pritchard’s hot shooting from behind the arc against the Trail Blazers ensures that Bo

ston will finish the 2024-25 NBA regular season with at least three players who have hit 200 triples, a feat last accomplished by the Warriors’ triumvirate of Curry, Thompson, and Jordan Poole during the 2022-23 NBA season. According to the NBA’s official X (previously Twitter) account, the 2016-17 Houston Rockets three of James Harden, Eric Gordon, and Ryan Anderson also accomplished this feat.
