You Won’t Believe Who Holds the NBA Record for Most 3-Pointers in a Single Game!
He had already hit six of 12 3-point attempts through three quarters, but he took it up a notch in the fourth, torching the Oklahoma City Thunder for 19 points on 6-of-9 shooting – including 5 of 6 on 3s. The Warriors went on to win the game 108-101 behind Thompson’s 41 points and closed out the Thunder in Game 7 in a series that may have shifted the balance of power in the league in a monumental way, as Kevin Durant joined the Warriors the following season.

Most 3s Without a Miss
9 – Ben Gordon (April 14, 2006/March 21, 2012) and Latrell Sprewell (Feb. 4, 2003)
Gordon was a guard before his time. He would’ve been a great volume scorer off the bench in today’s NBA. He could get hot in a hurry and no stat is more telling of that than the fact there are three games in NBA history in which a player made nine 3-pointers and didn’t miss any – Gordon has two.
