Warriors Set NBA Single-Game Playoff Record with 21 3-Pointers Made

The Golden State Warriors set an NBA playoff record by making 21 three-point shots in Sunday's 121-94 win over the Houston Rockets in Game 4 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals, per NBA History on Twitter.

Entering Sunday's contest in Houston with a 2-1 series lead, the Warriors bounced back strong from a Game 3 loss, riding a dominant second half to a commanding 3-1 advantage in the series.

The first quarter ended in a 29-29 tie and the score was knotted at 56 entering the half, but Golden State then outscored Houston 41-20 in the third quarter, followed by a 24-18 advantage in the final frame.

Superstar point guard Stephen Curry made just one of his seven three-point attempts in his first game back from an ankle injury, yet the Warriors still managed a record-breaking performance thanks to a strong all-around team effort.

Fellow guard Klay Thompson connected on seven of his 11 three-point tries, with forward Draymond Green sinking four out of six and forward Harrison Barnes making two out of five.

Off the bench, Andre Iguodala made three of his four three-point attempts, with Leandro Barbosa, Ian Clark, Brandon Rush and Marreese Speights each chipping in a single trey.

The old record of 20 three-pointers made was originally set by the Seattle SuperSonics in 1996, then later matched by the Dallas Mavericks (2011), the Warriors (2015) and most recently the Cleveland Cavaliers (2016).
