The Golden State Warriors have been raining down threes since the arrival of Steph Curry and Klay Thompson in the Bay Area, racking up accolades and rewriting NBA history books. But their recent game against the Los Angeles Lakers in Hollywood took their three-point shooting to another level.
In a crucial matchup for play-in tournament seeding, the Warriors unleashed a torrent of three-pointers, setting a new season high and a ridiculous record-breaking 63.4% field goal percentage from behind the arc. Curry, Thompson, and Green each sunk five threes, with Wiggins, Podziemski, and Payton II adding two or more of their own.
The Warriors' 26 made threes on 41 attempts was a spectacle, marking the most threes ever surrendered by the Lakers in a single game. The win not only fueled their play-in tournament hopes but also secured a critical head-to-head tiebreaker against the Lakers, positioning them just 0.5 games behind for the No. 9 seed in the Western Conference.
After the game, the NBA Twitterverse exploded with reactions. Fans and analysts alike took to social media to express their awe and excitement over the Warriors' historic three-point shooting performance.
