#1 Lights out shooting from the Celtics
The Celtics had a great night shooting the basketball. They finished shooting 49.5% from the field to only 44.2% for the Pelicans.
The Celtics were particularly impressive from the 3PT line making 19 threes on 49% shooting from the deep. Kyrie Irving went 5-10 from the deep. Horford shot 3-4 from beyond the arc. The other starters, Tatum, Smart and Morris all contributed to the shooting for the Celtics.

The Pelicans shot a good 37.5% from the 3PT line with Mirotic shooting 6-11 from the deep. But they were no match for the Celtics team who are desperately trying to get back to their best that led many to believe that they will come out as the Eastern Conference Champions.
The Celtics next play the Cavaliers on Friday. The New Orleans Pelicans play the Washington Wizards on Wednesday.
