Grizzlies match NBA record by making 29 3-pointers in loss to Cavaliers
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) --- The Memphis Grizzlies made 29 3-pointers Monday night
against Cleveland, matching an NBA single-game record.
And it wasn't enough.
Nine Grizzlies made at least one 3 in a 142-126 loss to the Cavaliers. The
Grizzlies shot 49.2% (29 for 59) from deep and 45.7% (16 for 35) from inside
the arc.
The 3-point record had been shared by Milwaukee and Boston. The Bucks made 29
3s in a 144-97 victory at Miami on Dec. 29, 2020, and the Celtics equaled the
record in a 132-109 win against the New York Knicks on Oct. 22, 2024.
"I think we can be pretty proud of how we played with this group today on the
court," Memphis coach Tuomas Iisalo said. "Guys wanted to go for it in the end,
and we were all for it. Unfortunately couldn't set a singular record, but tied
it. Nonetheless, very proud of our group."
The Grizzlies made 10 3s in the first quarter, three in the second, six in the
third and 10 in the final period.
The Cavaliers went 12 for 32 from 3 for the game.
"Incredible shooting performance by the Grizzlies. Give them credit," Cavaliers
coach Kenny Atkinson said. "They shot the heck out of the ball."
Memphis reserves Adama Bal and Dariq Whitehead each made six 3-pointers. Lucas
Williamson went 5 for 12 from deep, and Olivier-Maxence Prosper was 4 for 5.
The Grizzlies lost for the 18th time in their last 20 games. They were
averaging 13.7 made 3-pointers per game coming into the day.
