What is the record for three pointers in an NBA game? Maximum one player and one team

The explosion in the use of the three-point shot in the last five years has created a change in the trend and the way the game is played in the NBA, a phenomenon that grows year by year and becomes a resource without which the sport is no longer understood, nor can one to aspire to win in it. In this sense, we are immersed in the era of the triple, not only because of the volume of successes, but also because of its visibility, understanding and acceptance as something normal and not extraordinary as it was in the past.

player record

The Golden State Warriors during the last decade have been able to rely on two of the best and most efficient shooters in the entire history of the NBA: Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. In that sense, both our players are used to starring nights of great success in continuous bursts of more than 10 conversions.

Although, no doubt, none to the extent of what he made Klay Thompson in the 2018-2019 season when he reached 52 points in 26 minutes of play managing to break his partner’s record with 14 three-pointers. Zach LaVine would come close to matching him this season, falling just one conversion short of the high with 49 total points.
