Celtics were “open” or “wide open” on 38 of the 41 three point attempts they took last night against the Warriors in game 1.

15 of those attempts were “open”, meaning 4-6 feet from the nearest defender.

23 were “wide open”, meaning 6+ feet from the nearest defender.

They were 21/41 shooting from three on the night.

There’s a lot of takes going around that the Celtics just had a really hot shooting night and it’s not sustainable. They did shoot well, but the Warriors need to play better defense if they hope to slow down the Celtics three point shooting.
