“#Knicks’ RJ Barrett has become force from 3-point land<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

If this continues, RJ Barrett will be in the 3-point shooting contest next All-Star Weekend \u2014 if not in the main event.<\/p>\n

Barrett\u2019s stark rise from beyond the 3-point strip<\/a>e hit its climax in Boston, where he drilled all six of his 3 pointers, finishing with 29 points despite a 101-99 Knicks loss to the Celtics on Wednesday night at TD Garden.<\/p>\n

Barrett finished with 29 points, shooting 10-for-14 overall. In his last 40 game<\/a>s, after a slow start, Barrett is shooting 45.9 percent from 3-point range (61-for-133). In the past five games, he shot 16-for-22.<\/p>\n

While Barrett did commit a costly turnover down the stretch, leading to a Jaylen Brown fast-break layup, he bounced back to hit a game-tying 3-pointer soon after.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know if I\u2019m surprised because I see the time he\u2019s put into it,\u2019\u2019 coach Tom Thibodeau said. \u201cAnd when we\u2019ve been home, he usually comes in every night to shoot and get extra shooting in. He\u2019s really worked hard improving the shot and I think he\u2019s gotten real comfortable behind the line. And I also think his teammates are also doing a good job looking for him. We\u2019ve had good rim reads and a lot of spray-outs, so they\u2019re good-rhythm 3s.\u201d<\/p>\n
