In case you missed it, the Celtics have discovered a new sharpshooter in Sam Hauser.
In Boston’s recent victory over Chicago, Hauser drained seven of his eight three-point attempts, continuing his impressive streak of hitting 21 shots from deep in just three games. This performance shattered Jayson Tatum’s franchise record for most threes in a three-game span.
Hauser’s shooting has been on fire lately, going 7-of-8, 4-of-11, and 10-of-13 from beyond the arc. His consistency and accuracy are top-notch.
The emergence of Hauser as a trustworthy sharpshooter is a promising development for the Celtics, who have heavily relied on their main lineup. With only Payton Pritchard and Hauser getting significant minutes off the bench, his contributions are invaluable.
Following his record-breaking game, Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla commended Hauser’s reliability as a scoring threat off the bench, attributing his success to the team’s chemistry and trust in his abilities.
As the regular season winds down, injuries to key players have provided Hauser with more opportunities to showcase his talents. The forward has risen to the occasion, proving his readiness for important moments.
Hauser expressed his excitement for these opportunities, relishing the chance to shine on a big stage and prove his worth to the team.
Currently shooting 43.9 percent from three-point range, Hauser ranks among the league’s best. Since the All-Star break, he has been making an impressive 3.3 threes per game at an outstanding 53.5 percent, solidifying his status as a premier sharpshooter in the NBA.
