Defending champion Celtics hit 29 3-pointers in first game of the season .

The Celtics are on pace to obliterate the league's single-season attempts record at 48.3 per game.

Last week , in their win over the Miami Heat , the Celtics logged their 23rd game with at least 50 3 -point attempts.

But with their attempts up 14% from last season , it raises the question of whether their historic, unapologetic strategy is bolstered or hindered.

Boston Celtics' shot quality fell from 10th to 27th in the league's shot quality.

The Celtics have posted the NBA 's second -best efficiency against top-10 defensive units.

The starting lineup has struggled mightily from deep at 33.8% on the season -- down from 39.3% .
