Celtics hit 29 threes — tying the NBA record — in a 144-118 demolition of the Pelicans.

The Boston Celtics just put on a historic shooting clinic. Twenty-nine made three-pointers — tying the franchise AND NBA record — in a 144-118 demolition of the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday night.

Sam Hauser led the barrage with 8 threes and 24 points. The Celtics shot lights-out from everywhere on the floor, and the Pelicans had zero answers. With the win, Boston officially clinches the Atlantic Division title and the No. 2 seed in the East behind the Detroit Pistons.

The Celtics are locked and loaded heading into the playoffs. When this team is shooting like this, there might not be a team in the East that can beat them in a seven-game series. That includes Detroit.
