The Celtics and 3rd quarters

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.

Good thing games have 4 quarters.
