As the Celtics near NBA record for 3s in a season, a look inside the numbers from beyond the arc

On Saturday night, the Boston Celtics defeated the San Antonio Spurs 121-111 in San Antonio, securing their eighth consecutive win and improving their record to 55-19.
The Spurs, who have lost their third straight game and are 8-13 since Victor Wembanyama's blood clot diagnosis, were also without De'Aaron Fox due to a torn tendon.
Jayson Tatum led the Celtics with 29 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists, while Jrue Holiday contributed 21 points and 6 rebounds, and seven of the eight Celtics players scored in double figures.
For the Spurs, Keldon Johnson scored 23 points and Stephon Castle added 22, but the team still dropped the opener of their three-game homestand.
Prior to the game, guard Payton Pritchard was ruled out due to a left hip injury, and Al Horford, who had a toe injury and made 56 appearances, was questionable and potentially rested along with Pritchard, though both are considered key to Boston's championship aspirations.
