BOSTON—The Boston crowd chanted “One more 3!”

The Celtics did their best, firing up 13 shots from 3-point range in an attempt to break the NBA record for 3s in a game—and missing them all. In the end, all the defending champions could do in on Tuesday night was tie the record of 29 3s made by Milwaukee in 2020.
