After a night where the Celtics missed on 45 3-point shots, Joe Mazzulla downplayed concerns after Boston's Game 1 loss to New York.

The Boston Celtics introduced the three-pointer to the NBA in the 1980 season—and on Monday night, it betrayed them. The Celtics set an ignominious record in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the New York Knicks when they missed 45 three-pointers—75% of the 60 they attempted.

Boston missed 44 shots from 3-point range in regulation, a single-game NBA playoff record they extended to 45 with another miss in overtime. The Celtics took 60 3-point shots in all, another playoff record.
