NBA: Robert Williams III sinks first three-pointer in style
Celtics center breaks scoring record in style
Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III has finally made his first three-pointer.
The 25-year-old broke his scoring record in style on Friday night, sinking a shot from beyond the arc in the Celtics' 125-114 win over the Indiana Pacers.
Williams, who is known more for his defense and rebounding, had never made a three-pointer in his NBA career.

After the game, Williams said he was "just feeling it" when he took the shot.
"I had friends and family in the crowd, so I just wanted to put on a show for them," he said.
Williams' three-pointer was a rare highlight in an otherwise disappointing game for the Celtics, who lost their third straight game on the road.
What it means for Williams
Despite the loss, Williams' three-pointer is a sign of progress for the young player.
He has worked hard to improve his shooting, and his first three-pointer is a testament to his dedication.
If Williams can continue to develop his shot, he could become a more complete player and help the Celtics become a more dangerous team.
