The Jazz have won their ninth of their last 11 regular season games after beating the Hornets 112-102, and their 21-9 record so far this season has a three-win advantage in third place in the West, tied with the Nets, the first in the East. The Jazz have hit no fewer than 13 three-pointers in 18 consecutive regular season games, leading to the change of NBA record held by the Warriors!
In this game to lightly beat the Hornets, the Jazz's 53 three-point shots were only 30.2% of the three-point shooting rate, which is not outstanding, but they hit a total of 16 three-pointers, and 7 Jazz players hit three-pointers, including Bogdanovic playing 5 of 11 three-pointers.
That's 18 consecutive regular season hits by the Jazz from no less than 13 three-pointers! Since hitting 17 three-pointers against the Heat on Nov. 13, 2021, the Jazz have hit 13+ three-pointers in every game, including 20+ three-pointers in three consecutive games from December 3, 2021 to December 8, 2021, and the total number of three-pointers hit in three games has reached a staggering 72! In those 18 games, the Jazz averaged 17.3 three-pointers per game!
The NBA's all-time record for hitting 13+ three-pointers in a row in the regular season was originally held by the Warriors, who played such a three-point performance in 17 consecutive regular season games from April 10 to May 10, 2021, and now this record has been broken by the Jazz! The Warriors' 2015 victory ushered in today's NBA three-point shooting boom, and Stephen Curry surpassed Ray Allen a few days ago to crown the NBA's all-time regular season three-pointer king, and now the three-point record has been broken by the Jazz, which may surprise some people.
However, Jazz fans may get used to it. After all, before the Warriors set the record, it was held by the Jazz, who hit 13+ three-pointers in 16 consecutive regular-season games from January 12 to February 12, 2021, and the Jazz averaged 18.0 three-pointers per game in those 16 regular season games! The highest record for the number of three-pointers per game in a single season in NBA history is still held by the Jazz, which they set in the 2020-21 season, with an average of 16.7 three-pointers per game with a 38.9% three-point shooting rate.
So far this season, the Jazz's three-pointer is also the best in the league. The Jazz have averaged 15.7 three-pointers per game with 36.8 percent three-point shooting in 30 regular season games so far this season, the only team in the league to average fewer than 15.0 three-pointers per game, and ranking fourth in the league in terms of three-point shooting percentage. So far this season, 5 Jazz players have averaged no less than 2.0 three-pointers per game, including 4 people who have averaged no less than 2.6 three-pointers per game, and 3 of these 5 people have a three-point shooting rate of more than 39.5%!
Last season's Jazz were eliminated by the Clippers in the second round of the playoffs after playing the league's first regular season record, but it is indeed disappointing that they can play such a regular season performance after the return of the Twin Stars "winning the championship", and this season so far in the case of the intensification of the epidemic Jazz is one of the few teams that has not "recruited", and this season so far in the offensive and defensive ends of the many data in the league at the top of the league, may be able to replicate the sun's counterattack myth last season.
