Grizzlies Tie NBA Record With 29 Threes — And Still Lose
The Memphis Grizzlies put on the greatest three-point shooting display in NBA history on Monday night — and lost. Memphis drained 29 three-pointers to tie the all-time single-game record, but the Cleveland Cavaliers still won 142-126 in an absolute offensive explosion in Memphis.
When you're hitting 29 threes and still losing by 16, the other team is doing something special. Cleveland's offense was relentless, pouring in 142 points to render Memphis's historic shooting night irrelevant. The Cavs continue to look like one of the most dangerous teams heading into the postseason.
For Memphis, it's a bittersweet record to share. You'd think 29 threes wins you any game. Not when Cleveland decides to play like it's an All-Star Game. This one is going straight into the NBA history books — for both sides.
