In games Celtics shoot above 43.5%, they are 13-0. In games they shoot under that percentage, they are 0-4.
If the Celtics take on average 89 shots per game, that would equate to needing 39 shots made to pass this threshold.
If they take 43 3’s per game and make about 15 (34.8%)
Then as long as they shoot 24/46 (52.1%) from 2, that would get them to 39/89
This equates to 93 points, and if you add their average of 17 FTM per game, the Celtics should win the vast majority of their games when scoring 110+ points.
They have won all 9 games they have scored at least 110 points in regulation this season.
Not sure why so many people responded this way
If you take 80 shots, they’re all 2’s and you shoot 43.8% that’s 70 points
If you take 90 shots, half are 3’s and shoot 22/45 from 2 and 15/45 from 3 (41.1%) that’s 89 points.
The second way you score way more despite the worse percentage.
You can still win shooting a poor percentage, this is more about efficiency than points.
