Rockets set NBA record with 26 3s in 136-118 win

[TexasTowelie]

HOUSTON — The Houston Rockets were on the cusp of NBA history, just one 3-pointer away from setting the league record for most 3s in a game.

The crowd chanted: “Three, Three, Three,” every time Houston got the ball and let out a collective moan after each of four straight misses as the clock ran down on Wednesday night against the Washington Wizards.

Then, with just 31.1 seconds remaining, Michael Carter-Williams, who had missed two of those four, set his feet and shot his way into the record books, making Houston’s 26th 3 of the night to set the mark and help Houston to a 136-118 win.

“All I was hearing were my teammates saying: ‘shoot it, shoot it,'” Carter-Williams said. “So we were just out there trying to make the last one. I had a good, clean look so I just tried to knock it down.”

1. 57.4% Of Their Points From Behind The Line

I wonder if that's a record too. I couldn't readily find that with google.

I did find the current percentages for the last 3 years, and this number is nearly 50% better than their season average, which is 39.3%. They were 40% of points on three pointers last year. If i had to guess, i would say this percentage is a record too.
