BOSTON — Dynasties used to reign over the NBA. However, thanks to the new CBA and an increasingly competitive league, one team dominating year after year feels like a thing of the past. The reigning champion Boston Celtics are trying to change that,

The Celtics have passed the 2022-23 Golden State Warriors for the most 3-pointers made by one team in a single season. The Warriors' record was 1,363 and the Celtics currently stand at 1,364 and counting after Payton Pritchard's second-quarter 3-pointer with five games left in the regular season.

Boston (59-21) is locked in as the No. 2 seed for the Eastern Conference playoffs and rested its top six players throughout Wednesday's 96-76 loss at Orlando. A victory would have given the Celtics a share of the NBA record for most road wins in a season as they finished 33-8 away from home. The 2015-16 Golden State Warriors were 34-7 on the road.

The Boston Celtics completed a season sweep over the New York Knicks on Tuesday night with an entertaining overtime win at Madison Square Garden.

The Celtics broke the NBA record for 3-pointers in a season Friday night against the Suns, connecting on their 1,364th to pass the Warriors' mark set in 2022-23.

The Celtics team is on the cusp of surpassing the 2023 Warriors for the single-season record of most made threes by a team.

Boston leads the NBA, averaging 48.4 three-point attempts on a nightly basis this season. The difference in attempts per game between the Celtics and the No. 2-ranked Warriors (5.9) is the same as the distance between Golden State and the Milwaukee Bucks, who rank No. 18 in threes attempted each night.

It had the intensity of the playoffs with Karl-Anthony Towns leading Knicks with 34 points and Kristaps Porzingis giving the Celtics 34.
