Celtics post best shooting night in the league so far this year; would you expect anything less right now?
While Boston was moving into first place in the Atlantic Division last night by winning their 4th game in a row (and 10th straight vs the Magic), they also accomplished a rather impressive feat in the process:
The Celtics shot 60% from the floor tonight (51-85), the highest by any team in a game this season

The Celtics shoot 60%. Something they did a grand total of zero times last year.

Below is their complete shot chart, also via ESPN Stats & Info:
Brandon Bass (5-12) and Gerald Wallace (0-1) were the only C's to shoot below 50%, while Avery Bradley (10-15), Kelly Olynyk, and Jared Sullinger (both 7-9) all made at least two-thirds of their attempts.
Stevens on the 60% shooting: "just one of those nights." When he walked into the locker room, he said "we looked like a basketball team"

A week ago this would have been shocking, but the way things have been going lately I'm not even surprised.
