Garza made the most of the minutes. In 16 minutes on the floor, he scored 14 points with six rebounds and two assists, confirming his good form before the end of the season.
She hit as many as 29 three-pointers
However, in the foreground was the team performance of the Celtics, who hit as many as 29 three-pointers and thus equaled the absolute NBA record, which they already held from 2024, together with the Milwaukee Bucks and Memphis Grizzlies.
Sam Hauser led Boston to victory with 24 points, with all eight of his shots coming from behind the three-point line (8/14). Jaylen Brown had a notable performance with 23 points in three quarters, and Payton Pritchard, who recorded a double-double performance of 21 points and 10 assists.
As many as eight Celtics players hit at least two three-pointers, while Neemias Queta scored his first three-pointer in his NBA career.
Pelicans without a top five
On the other hand, the Pelicans performed without the complete first five – Zion Williamson, Herbert Jones, Saddiq Bey, Trey Murphy III and Dejounte Murray were not available, so in such circumstances Jeremiah Fears with 36 points and Dereck Queen, who added 25 points and 11 rebounds, were the most effective.
With this victory, Boston further confirmed its candidacy for the title, demonstrating an exceptional shooting form ahead of the most important part of the season.
