SALT LAKE CITY — Before Friday night, the Utah Jazz had never attempted more than 40 3-point shots in a game that ended after 48 minutes. Once, they attempted 45 3-pointers in a double-overtime loss to Charlotte, and their record for a regulation game was 39 against Minnesota in 2015.
In their first home game of the 2018-19 season, the Jazz fired up a record 46 3-pointers and made a record 19, but it wasn’t enough to defeat the Golden State Warriors, who escaped with a 124-123 victory on Jonas Jerebko’s last-second tip-in.
The Jazz shot more 3-pointers than 2-pointers (43) on Friday and more than doubled the amount the usual 3-point-happy Warriors shot, as they only shot 19 threes, making 10.
