Modern NBA teams knock down 3-pointers at a record rate.<\/p>\n
Since the NBA adopted the 3-point line during the 1979-80 season, and Boston Celtics<\/a> guard Chris Ford knocked down the first 3-point field goal in league history on Oct. 12, 1979, long-range jump shots have become a major part of NBA offensive game plans.<\/p>\n Entering the 2025-26 season, the team record for the most made 3-pointers in a single NBA game was 29, accomplished first by the Milwaukee Bucks<\/a> in 2020 and later matched by the Celtics in 2024.<\/p>\n Jrue Holiday<\/a> knocked down six of his 10 shots from deep and scored 24 points to lead the Bucks to a 144-97 win over the Miami Heat<\/a> on Dec. 29, 2020. The road victory proved to be a banner night in what wound up being a championship season for Milwaukee.<\/p>\n After receiving their 2023-24 championship rings and raising the franchise’s 18th championship banner, the Celtics opened the 2024-25 campaign by matching Milwaukee’s record performance in a 132-109 win against the visiting New York Knicks<\/a> on Oct. 22, 2024.<\/p>\n Here is a look at the teams with the most made 3-pointers in a single game in NBA history:<\/p>\n Check out the ESPN NBA hub page<\/a> for the latest news<\/a>, analysis<\/a>, scores<\/a>, stats<\/a>, schedules<\/a> and more.<\/p>\n Copyright \u00a9 2025 ESPN Internet Ventures.
