Celtics' Sam Hauser made absurd NBA 3-point history with stats never done before

Sam Hauser wasn't shy about letting it fly.

The Boston Celtics' sharpshooter tried to prove he was exactly that on Saturday night, and he did so in a historic manner.

Hauser shot the basketball 21 times in a win over the Atlanta Hawks.

None of those shots came at the foul line.

None of those shots came on 2-point attempts.

Yes, all 21 of Hauser's shot attempts on Saturday were from beyond the 3-point arc.

He made 10 of them, for 30 points.

No one had ever taken that many 3s in a game without another attempt.

Hauser supplemented what was a 41-point night for Jaylen Brown.

He also added six rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block.

Hauser is known as a shooter, but this was an absurd game of heat checks after heat checks.

Frankly, it was pretty darn awesome.
