Everywhere you look in the Celtics' box score, you see efficient shooting. The trio of Jaylen Brown, Nikola Vucevic, and Payton Pritchard were a combined 27-of-37 from the field and 11-of-12 from three for a combined 78 points.
It's safe to say that we won't see a shooting performance like this on an NBA court for a long, long time.
