ANNOUNCEMENT: Kristaps Porziņģis, Announce Resignation And Departure From Boston Celtics Today….
Sam Hauser could potentially represent the Boston Celtics in the Three-Point Contest at NBA All-Star weekend.
This season, Hauser has made 110 of his 264 three-point attempts.
As captured by NBC Sports Boston, Hauser would likely accept an invitation to be in the event.
“It would be cool, for sure. I’m not really hanging my head over it. If it happens, it happens. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t.
If I don’t end up going, I get to spend more time with my family, which I’ll love. If I do get to go, it’ll be cool to be part of.
Hauser recalled his previous three-point contest experience.
“I’ve done one (three-point contest) (during) my senior year of high school, a national three-point contest. I didn’t win. I think I might’ve took third (place).”
According to Chris Haynes of TNT and Bleacher Report, Jalen Brunson will be competing in the contest. Brunson has made 129 of his 309 three-point attempts.
With LeBron James and Anthony Davis in fancy clothes on the bench, the Celtics approached Thursday night’s game like an exhibition.
It was clear from the opening jump that they weren’t into playing the B-squad Lakers.
But those B-squad Lakers absolutely outplayed, outhustled, and outworked Boston’s star-studded lineup.
The Celtics were careless with the ball, committing nine first-quarter turnovers and 15 overall, and allowed the Lakers to torch them from the 3-point line.
The Lakers were hot from downtown, going 19-for-36, but the Celtics did little to put out those flames thanks to lazy and slow defensive rotations throughout the loss.
