In a Game 7 that had fans on the edge of their seats, the Boston Celtics' three-point shooting told a story of highs and lows. According to StatMuse, the team's performance from beyond the arc was a mixed bag, with some players stepping up while others struggled to find their rhythm.
Jaylen Brown connected on 3 of his 9 attempts, providing a steady hand from deep. Derrick White, despite a high volume of shots, went 5-for-16, showing both the willingness to take big shots and the inconsistency that can come with it. Rookie Baylor Scheierman and Hugo González each went 0-for-3, while Payton Pritchard chipped in with 2 makes on 7 tries—a solid contribution off the bench.
Jordan Walsh (0-2), Ron Harper Jr. (0-1), and Luka Garza (0-2) all struggled to convert, but Sam Hauser emerged as a bright spot, hitting 3 of his 6 attempts. The overall numbers reflect the "Mazzulla ball" philosophy—an aggressive, pace-and-space approach that relies heavily on the three-pointer. While it didn't always pay off in this game, the Celtics' commitment to the deep ball remains a defining feature of their playoff run.
