Warriors and Mavs had the target in their eye last night. In the fireworks that took place near the Chase Center, no less than 48 3-point shots were scored! It’s a new NBA record!
Of the 276 points accumulated between Mavs and Warriors, 144 came from behind the 3-point line. This is simply historic since no other match has been so prolific from long distance since the creation of the League. It must be said that between Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Kyrie Irving and even Luka Doncic, there was great offensive talent on the floor but it was the two groups overall who were impressive in their long-distance efficiency. 51% parking lot address for the Mavs, 50% for the Warriors, it’s very, very, very strong.
We could probably have guessed it when we saw Draymond Green line up 3 winning shots in the first quarter, symbol of an evening where anything could happen. Another wink from destiny, it is Klay Thompson who will set the record in the 4th quarter, against his former team. The full-back is therefore a little more in the history of the League, he who is therefore the player who has scored the most winning shots in a match (14), without forgetting his participation in the record of this night between two teams ( 48). The previous record was 44 3-pointers.
48 MADE THREES ????

The Warriors also set a record for the most 3-point shots made (27) in a defeat. The previous record belonged to the Clippers and dated from 2023 (26). Not really the best way to enter the history books but the performance remains breathtaking for the Dubs.
Good luck now to bring down this new record, even if we know that in an NBA that is increasingly focused on 3-point shooting and fast pace, you should never say never.
