It has been obvious that 3rd quarters are among this team’s kryptonite for years and so far this season it’s proving to be true.
Celtics total points in the 3rd quarter - 428 points
Opponent total points - 439 poits
In 17 games the Celtics won 7 3rd quarters with 1 tie (Grizzlies). All 4 losses of the Celtics were from poor 3rd-quarter (and OT) shooting.
- vs Wolves 19- 27 (6/23 26%) OT: 2/7 28%
- vs Sixers **17-**20 (6/24 25%)
- vs Hornets 22-27 (8/23 34%) OT: 3/9 33%
- vs Magic **18-**29 ( 6/19 31%)
Good thing games have 4 quarters.
