Despite being forced out of the Wizards game due to a sprained ankle, Sam Hauser still managed to make a mark by setting a new Celtic record for most 3-pointers made in a three-game span. His 20 makes surpassed Jayson Tatum’s previous record, showing his prowess as a reserve sharpshooter.
Hauser’s performance in the recent game against the Bulls was stellar, scoring 23 points and grabbing five rebounds while shooting an impressive 7-for-8 from beyond the arc. This season, he has shown progress and consistency in his shooting, maintaining an average of never dipping below 39.7% from the 3-point line.
Although not yet at full health, Hauser is determined to play through his ankle injury and continue contributing on the court. With the playoffs approaching and the Celtics securing the No. 1 seed in the East, Hauser aims to prove his reliability to the coaching staff by making an impact in crucial moments.
For Hauser, these opportunities to shine on a big stage motivate him as a competitor, and he is determined to show that he can step up when needed, especially in the postseason. As he continues to impress with his shooting and performance, Hauser is poised to make a significant impact for the Celtics moving forward.
