Cleveland Cavaliers set NBA record with 20 more 3-pointers
CLEVELAND -- The Cavaliers set an NBA record by becoming the first team to have back-to-back regular season games with 20 3-pointers, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
The team made 21 Wednesday in racking up 137 points in a blowout of the Portland Trail Blazers and piled on 20 more Friday in a 128-90 rout of the Dallas Mavericks. There had only been 25 games in league history where a team made 20 or more 3s in a game before this week according to BasketballReference.com.
The Golden State Warriors did it seven times last season but never in back-to-back games. The Cavs had consecutive 20 3-pointer games against the Atlanta Hawks last season in the playoffs, making a combined 46 in Games 2 and 3 of their 4-0 series sweep.
