Rockets On Fire From Deep While Setting NBA Record for 3-pointers

During their 136-118 blowout of the Washington Wizards in Houston, the Rockers were firing on all cylinders from 3-point land.

With James Harden leading the way, the Rockets set an NBA single-game record by hitting 26 3-pointers during their decimation of the magic-less Wizards.

Harden nailed 6-of-11 3-point attempts, Chris Paul hit 5-of-9, Gerald Green hit 4-of-7, Eric Gordon hit 4-of-9, P.J. Tucker hit 3-of-4, Daniel House Jr. hit 2-of-8, Michael Carter-Williams hit 1-of-3, and Gary Clark hit 1-of-1 triples.

Overall, the Rockets hit shot 26-of-55 from distance on the night, good for a mark of 47.3 percent.

The previous record for 3-pointers in a game was 25 which the Cleveland Cavaliers set in a March 2017 win over the Atlanta Hawks.

“Man, it was fun,” Paul said. “It wasn’t no disrespect at all to Washington or whatnot. It’s one of those things you don’t get to do very often. To do it with the team, unless it gets broken tomorrow, it’s something that we’ll remember.”
