The Celtics set an NBA 3-point record Friday night as Boston cruised to a 123-103 win over Phoenix at the Garden

The Boston Celtics defeated the Phoenix Suns 123-103 at home Friday night. The Celtics are now 57-20 for the regular season, with just five games remaining before the playoffs begin.

The Suns were without Kevin Durant, a major blow to a mediocre offensive team fighting for its life in the West standings. Boston, meanwhile, was at full strength, and by the middle of the second quarter, the defending champions established a comfortable lead. It was around that time that the Celtics set the new NBA record for most made 3-pointers in a season, a fitting accolade on a night where Boston outshot their opponent handily. Per usual, this was a big driver for what was a low-stress win for the Celtics, who are back in action Sunday evening at home against the Washington Wizards.

Let’s jump in and recap the action TD Garden by looking at the best photos from a 123-103 Celtics victory over the Suns.
