As the famous saying goes, you either live by the three or die by the three. Under head coach Joe Mazzulla<\/a>, the Boston Celtics have embodied this saying. After Boston\u2019s Game 1 win over the Orlando Magic<\/a>, Shane Young of Forbes<\/em> noted that the Celtics are now an incredible 101-8 in the Mazzulla era when they shoot at least 40 percent from three. This translates to a 92.6 winning percentage. Notably in Sunday\u2019s win over Orlando, the Celtics shot 43.2 percent from beyond the arc. Let\u2019s further dive into this absurd stat and the value of Mazzulla ball<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
