Boston Celtics 97-94 Utah Jazz: 5 talking points

#4 Battle from downtown

Terry Rozier

The Celtics had a great shooting night from 3-point territory, as they converted 12 of their 21 attempts (57.1%) from outside the arc. Most of their shot attempts were either open or wide open, and they benefited from their conservative approach by taking only the easier 3-point options instead of chucking their way into high figures from downtown. Jaylen Brown, for example, converted all 3 of his attempts, while Tatum missed 1 out of 3.

The Jazz, on the other hand, had a cold night from beyond the arc. Joe Ingles, one of the top 3-point shooters in the world and currently 3rd in 3-point percentage in the entire league, shot a below-par 2-of-7, as the Jazz were only able to convert 9 out of their 33 looks for a woeful 27.3% conversion rate.
