Do the Boston Celtics need a Plan B for when their 3-pointers don’t fall?

It is hard to say the Boston Celtics need to shoot fewer 3s given the shot has lifted them among the NBA’s elite this season under new head coach Joe Mazzulla. But on nights when the Celtics can’t hit the ocean with a pebble, can their offense survive bricking shot after shot from beyond the arc?

While the Celtics do not have many losses to choose from, the trend of ice-cold shots from beyond the arc is a common thread: The bulk of Boston’s losses come on nights when the club shoots below league average from deep.
