These 18 NBA teams made the most 3-pointers in one game

Okay, it might be time to move the three point line back. It’s no surprise that in this era of emphasized three-point shooting and position-less basketball that individual, franchise, combined, and season records are being broken seemingly every week. More on that at the end of this article.

List of NBA teams with Most 3-pointers in a Game

For many years, the record for the most threes in a game was set by the Orlando Magic with 23 back in 2009. That team was anchored by Dwight Howard and surrounded by Jameer Nelson, Rashard Lewis, Hedo Turkoglu, and J.J. Redick. That record was then tied in 2013 by a James Harden-led Houston Rockets team, but the league hadn’t fully-adopted the three as the focus of their offensive schemes as they have today.

Fast forward to the Steph Curry-led Warriors and the game has completely changed from an inside-out approach to a perimeter-heavy offense. Since 2017, that record of 23 made threes made by one team has been surpassed dozens of times over.

It’s no surprise that these records were set in the last few years with the league heavily relying three-point shooting. The team that holds the record for most three-pointers in one game is the Milwaukee Bucks who hit an amazing 29 threes in 51 three point attempts (56.9%) in a blowout win against the Miami Heat.

Think about that: The league record for most threes made by one team sat at 23 three point field goals made for thirty years. Then in a last several seasons – since 2016 — that long-standing three-point record has been surpassed 17 times. It’s most certainly a sign of the times.

The Three Ball Era

That’s not to place a magnifying glass solely on the Rockets as the entire league has prioritized the three point shot into their overall offensive (and defensive) approach to the game.  We’re not sure what the inventors of the three pointer had in mind when they came up with the three-point line, but I’m sure they’re smiling watching today’s NBA.

books I read in 2020: The Last Wish, Andrzej Sapkowski

“Evil is Evil. Lesser, greater, middling… Makes no difference. The degree is arbitary. The definition’s blurred. If I’m to choose between one evil and another… I’d rather not choose at all.”

2020 Reads

I’ll tell you right away, this list is not very long. With college, Covid, and the overarching stress of it all, I didn’t end up reading as much as I wanted to, but the books I did read were amazing. Throughout this year, even though the list is short, these books were with me when I needed them the most.

In no particular order, the books I read this year:

Little Prince-Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Gifted to me by my tennis coach the year I graduated and absolutely adorable. I read this in an hour, and it meant the world to me. The best gift a person can give me is a book they loved.

Ninth House-Leigh Bardugo

Dark academia meets the supernatural in one of my favorite stories ever. I loved the aesthetic of this book, and it made me want to be a dramatic Yale student with secret society ties, regardless of how dangerous it seemed. I can’t wait to see what happens next, especially with that ending. 

Sky in the Deep-Adrienne Young

A reread of the best Viking book by one of my favorite authors. This was an Owlcrate book quite a while ago, and one that I read with one of my best friends. We loved it.

The Gravity of Us-Phil Stamper

NASA and YA. It can’t get much better. The cutest book. This was an amazing way to start the year. Phil Stamper’s storytelling is beautiful, and I didn’t ever want to put this book down, or for it to end.

The Starless Sea-Erin Morgenstern

Erin Morgenstern will never fail to amaze me. I loved every page of this book, and finished it crying at midnight (I think during finals week of spring semester, which adds to the emotional trauma of it all). There was so much happening in this story, and I need to read it three more times to catch all of the little details I missed, and to live in the world a little longer.

Speak-Laurie Halse Anderson

Another reread of one of my most favorite books. I remember reading this in my high school book club for the first time, and wondering why I never read it sooner. This was a phenomenal story, and such a realistic portrayal of life.

The Witcher: The Last Wish-Andrzej Sapkowski

Watched the show and had to read the books. I didn’t love the book as much as the show (something about how the female characters were written…), but I did enjoy the story.

Love, Creekwood-Becky Albertalli 

The best novella to end the year with. This book made me so happy. I loved the relationships, the friendships, and how much it made me think of my friends, the amazing people I have in my life.

I think about The Priory of the Orange Tree at least 12 times a day. Samantha Shannon really knows how to write things that’ll stick with you.

Read at your own risk.

🌹BOOK REVIEW🌹

Title: A curse so dark and lonely (Cursebreaker’s series 1).

Author: Brigid Kemmerer Rating:. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

When Harper was doing a look out for her brother, she saw a man trying to kidnap a woman, she tries to rescue her. And she ended up in an another world.

A world so different from hers. A castle where music instruments played on it’s own, flowers in the vases changed on its own and a prince. A handsome prince.

How she ended up there? What is happening? And what is this curse that they are talking about?

Fall in love. Break the curse.

==========================

This is a retelling of the fairytale ‘Beauty and the beast’.

Did the book blown my mind? No. But it was a great read. What I really loved about the book was the protagonist. She is strong and willed despite her cerebral palsy.

The starting of book was intriguing and hooked me. The twist was unexpected. My fav character other than our protagonist was Grey. The author did well on taking us to the world of the kingdom.

But I don’t know what it is, but something was pricking on my mind while reading the book. Maybe cause of romance? 😕 But other than that it was a good one.

I am not reading the next book of this series until the third and final book comes next year. (Because I am not that great at the cliffhangers!!)😅

recommending The Books of Ambha Duology by Tasha Suri!! It's an epic fantasy duology of companion novels inspired by Mughal India. Both books are adult, but work well as crossover titles: while the pace and the build up are slow and the world is intricate, they could be a good approach to adult fantasy.

- from a recent interview with the author: "I drew a lot of inspiration from the culture, politics, of Mughal India to give my world structure. Once I started getting to know the characters and story better, I changed the real historical context to meet the needs of the plot, so I diverged from history in a big way, in the end."

- the magic system is well developed and extremely fascinating. The author drew inspiration from the devas in particular.

- both books deal with how minorities are used politically and focus on imperialism.

- the characters' struggle with such topics is a recurrent theme. In both books, the author managed to give her characters nuance and complexity, showing a continuous struggle and growth in how they approach political and cultural problems.

- there's a focus on self discovery and acceptance. The main characters are quite different, which makes for a very interesting look at how people can embrace their heritage or struggle with it.

- both books feature slow burn romance! (Also the second book has a soft prince who can embroider 😭✨).

- book one, Empire of Sand, can be read as a self contained tale (tw: abuse, slavery) and while its consequences are political, it’s set far from the heart of the empire. Book two is more focused on court politics and the author did a great job at showing how the mechanisms of court can influence a character's role (Realm of Ash also shows women in a position of power, there are quite a few complex and morally ambiguous female characters!).

Books Read in 2020 #122 - “Valiant Annual 1965” By various. Growing up Christmas wasn’t Christmas without a comics hardcover Annual to read. Earlier in the year I picked up a run of Valiant Annuals from the mid to late sixties and thought it would be fun to revisit them around the holidays. Valiant was a boys adventure comic mixing historical, military, and sports stories with the occasional educational article, and as expected this Annual reflects the same content. While some of the jingoistic undertones are a little uncomfortable from today’s perspective, the few strips that also have female characters are surprisingly progressive with them having equal agency with the lead males, although it’s the men who get their name in the strip title. Highlights for me were a fascinating article about a Nuclear powered US Army camp situated under the Greenland icecap (it apparently was shut down in 1967), and a fun pulp style space adventure which included the line “You cant expect a chimp to do much in the way of running a spaceship!” - There are no credits for any of the writers or artists but the cover looks to be by the excellent Ron Emberton who also contributed a couple of painted strips inside. Overall a real nostalgia trip and a fun read.
