Video: Marcus Smart sets Celtics 3-point record
So much for Marcus Smart not being able to shoot. The Celtics guard set a team record with 11 made 3-pointers in Saturday's loss to the Phoenix Suns.
Marcus Smart is the only player in NBA history to have 10+ 3's, 8+ ast and 4+ stl in a game.

I love him and I trust him
Smart who ended up with a career high 37 points, to his credit said after the game, he'd rather have the win than the record. After struggling for a few years earlier in his career with the 3 ball, Smart hit 126 last season shooting an impressive 36.4% from behind the arc. This season he's already hit 75 through 32 games played, so he should set a career high again in made 3 pointers for the season. His percentage is down a smidge to 35.5%, but despite what the eyes might tell you, Smart isn't a bad shooter.
Smart will get to see if he's still hot in about an hour when the Celtics take on the Lakers.
