If all goes as expected, Celtics guard Ray Allen will finish the regular season with a franchise-record for free-throw shooting and the fourth-highest mark in NBA history. Allen has shot a career-best .952 after making 237 of 249 free throws. He isn’t expected to play in the season finale tonight against Washington. Previously, only Houston’s Calvin Murphy (.958, 1980-81 season) and Denver’s Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf (.956, 1993-94) have had higher free-throw percentages. Toronto guard Jose Calderon, however, enters tonight’s game against Chicago having shot an NBA-record 98 percent after making 149 of 152. Bill Sharman previously owned the Celtics free throw percentage record, shooting .932 (342 of 367) during the 1958-59 season.
