Historic NBA Game: Celtics, Bucks make record-low 2 Free Throw attempts, Boston shoot 0

In a game that defied statistical norms and left NBA historians scratching their heads, the Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics etched their names into the league's record books on Tuesday night. In a contest characterized by its scarcity of free throws, the Bucks emerged victorious with a 104-91 win, but it was the astonishingly low number of trips to the charity stripe that stole the headlines.

The Bucks and Celtics combined for a mere two free throw attempts throughout the entire game, setting a new record-low mark in NBA history. What's more, the Celtics accomplished a remarkable feat of their own, becoming the first team ever to complete a game without a single free throw attempt.

The lone free throw attempts of the game belonged to Milwaukee's star player, Giannis Antetokounmpo, who managed to convert one of his two shots from the line, ultimately contributing to the Bucks' triumph.

Reflecting on the historic moment, Bucks center Brook Lopez admitted, "I didn't realize that until they told me just before I walked in. It is weird, after the fact. I honestly didn't really catch it throughout the game. I didn't notice it."

The scarcity of free throws was further underscored by the fact that the Bucks committed a mere four fouls throughout the game, marking the fewest fouls conceded by a team in NBA history.

This historic game shattered the previous record of free throw futility, which stood at 11 combined attempts. Notably, this record-setting encounter featured the Milwaukee Bucks and the Boston Celtics, teams that traditionally boast prolific free throw shooters. Prior to this game, Giannis Antetokounmpo led the NBA in free throw attempts, highlighting the exceptional nature of this statistical anomaly.

Adding intrigue to the situation, several NBA players and observers have noted a trend of decreasing foul calls as the season progresses. Portland Trail Blazers' star Damian Lillard commented on the phenomenon, saying, "It was weird, but it seems to be the trend. Fouls are not a part of the game no more."

Tuesday night's officiating crew, consisting of Marc Davis, Ben Taylor, and Danielle Scott, presided over this historic matchup, overseeing a game that defied conventional expectations and added another chapter to the annals of NBA history.

As the league continues to evolve and adapt, Tuesday night's game serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictability and intrigue that basketball fans can expect on any given night. While free throws are often considered a fundamental aspect of the game, this record-low encounter between the Bucks and Celtics demonstrated that even the most basic elements of basketball can be subject to unprecedented anomalies.
