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.
