Payton Pritchard on how historic bad shooting night impacted Boston Celtics vs. Utah Jazz
The Boston Celtics put up the worst 3-point shooting night of any team in NBA history with at least 50 attempts against the Utah Jazz in a 105-103 home loss on Monday (Nov. 3) night. Given the 3-point heavy style sometimes referred to as "Mazzulla Ball" (named after Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla) is by definition a high variance style of play,
That shift came within the frontcourt in the form of two notable swaps. Instead of starting the combination of Kyle Filipowski and Walker Kessler at the four and five spots, Taylor Hendricks and Jusuf Nurkic would be the starting pairing to start the night for Utah–– one move made due to injury, and the other being a coaching decision.
For the first time in 27 years, a Utah Jazz player has scored 50 points in a regular-season game. They needed every one of them, too. Lauri Markkanen’s 51-point, 14-rebound performance pushed the Jazz to an overtime win over the Phoenix Suns on Monday.

Instead of the original sunset orange, the new jersey showcases a grey-to-black gradient accented by light blue trim. The original design symbolized southern Utah's red rock landscapes, while the new look draws inspiration from the state's mountain ranges. (Or, as some fans have been quick to point out, the state's infamous immersions.)
Utah released its latest city edition uniforms Thursday, featuring a gradient design quite similar to that of the team’s first city edition threads in 2017.
On Thursday morning, the Jazz announced their City Edition uniforms for the 2025-26 and 2026-27 seasons — uniforms that feature a vertical gray gradient, with a baby blue trim added.
