The Memphis Grizzlies delivered a historic shooting performance Monday night, tying the NBA single-game record with 29 made 3-pointers, but it wasn’t enough to secure a win.
Memphis still fell 142-126 at home to the Cleveland Cavaliers, wasting a night in which it matched the league’s top mark for 3-point makes in a game.
Record night, same result
The Grizzlies’ 29 triples tied the NBA record for most 3-pointers in a single game, a rare feat that typically swings outcomes. Instead, Cleveland’s offense proved too much, as the Cavaliers piled up 142 points to hand Memphis the loss despite the barrage from deep.
Even with Memphis connecting from long range at a record-setting rate, the Cavaliers maintained control on the scoreboard and left with a 16-point road victory.
