A record of 3s and five wildest stats in the Milwaukee Bucks’ Miami Heat defeat

by

With their 144-97 victory Tuesday night, the Milwaukee Bucks not only beat the Miami Heat, but soaked them with an unprecedented 3-point shooting rain, setting an NBA record with 29 long baskets. performed in his 51 attempts. They tied the previous mark of 27 with just under eight minutes to go, setting up Sam Merrill to set the record with 6:07 left for the fourth quarter.

The Bucks broke the record set by the Houston Rockets at home against the Phoenix Suns on April 7, 2019.

There had been 108 cases before the NBA history of a team trying 50 or more 3 in a regular season game. The Bucks were the first team to try 50 3s and shoot 50% or better in those attempts (they got 56.9% on Tuesday). With the assistance of ESPN Stats & Information, what were the most interesting numbers to draw from this long-distance filming exhibition?

• 12: In addition to setting a record in the maximum number of 3 made, the Bucks also set a record with the most different players by making a triple of 12 with 12, beating the mark of 11, according to research by Elias Sports Office. The Bucks were led by Jrue Holiday’s six baskets in 10 shots from a distance of 3 points, followed by Donte DiVincenzo who was 5 of 6.

• 9: Amidst all these cubs made by so many Bucks, perhaps the biggest surprise was that Giannis Antetokounmpo finished with just 9 points a night, even though he only played 24 minutes. The two-time current MVP was the only Milwaukee player to not score 3 points, though he tried two. The previous time Antetokounmpo scored in double digits was on December 22, 2018, also against the Heat in a 94-87 road loss.

• 1: Giannis didn’t make a 3, but his brother Thanasis scored his first triple, having previously thrown a 0 of 11 from the arc during his 23-game NBA career game before Tuesday.

• 30 a bust? Bryn Forbes got the 29th and final treble with 3:30 left in the end, so it wasn’t like the clock was ticking with Milwaukee’s 3s rain. But the Forbes bucket was also Milwaukee’s last attempt of the night.

• 47: Elias also notes that the Bucks’ 47-point victory over the Heat tied the third-largest margin of victory over a conference defender:

Greater victory against champion of the defender conference
December 1986, SuperSonics def. Rockets, plus-56
November 2019, Mavericks defeat. Warriors, plus-48
December 2020, Bucks def. Heat, plus-47
December 2003, defeat of the Grizzlies. Networks, plus-47
April 1999, Magic def. Bulls, plus-47

Tuesday’s loss also tied the second-highest margin in Heat history, with a 47-point loss to the Lakers in November 1988, with only a 68-point loss to the Cavaliers on December 17, 1991. These 144 Bucks points were also the second most allowed by Miami in franchise history, just behind the 148 Cleveland scored in that 1991 game.

So what did the Heat do with all this bad news on the track and the record book? The only thing they could:
