The Dallas Mavericks hold the NBA record for three-pointers attempted in a single game with 49. That record dates back to March 5, 1996 when they took on the New Jersy Nets in a regular season game.
If you don’t remember the 1996 New Jersey Nets, it’s a team whose incompetence would become immortalized three months later when they passed on Kobe Bryant and drafted Kerry Kittles instead.
This past Saturday, the Houston Rockets nearly eclipsed that mark when they put up 47 threes to try and keep pace with the San Antonio Spurs.
