The 10 NBA Teams with Most Three-Pointers in One Game in NBA Playoffs

The 10 NBA Teams with Most Three Pointers in One game in the NBA Playoffs

When researching the NBA teams with the most three-pointers in one game in the NBA Playoffs, there are quite a few franchises that have capitalized on making 20 or more threes. At the top of the list are the Milwaukee Bucks and Cleveland Cavaliers, tied for the most threes in one game with 25 made three-pointers. 

Milwaukee also holds the regular season record for most threes in one game. The Bucks accomplished it during a win against the Miami Heat in the 2023 NBA Playoffs (before losing the series). The Cavs did it against the Atlanta Hawks in the Eastern Conference Semifinals of the 2016 NBA Playoffs. 

The 10 Teams with Most Three-Pointers in One Game (NBA Playoffs)

In today’s NBA, we all know that the three-pointer is a game-changer and the ultimate equalizer, so if you want some NBA betting tips, one major factor to consider when picking which team might win the game (or series) is the one that takes more three-point shots. It’s not a coincidence that the four worst NBA teams in the league (Pistons, Wizards, Hornets, and Blazers) are at the bottom of the league in terms of 3PM.

However, one team is noticeably absent when you look at the list of NBA teams with the most three-pointers in one game during the NBA Playoffs: The Golden State Warriors. Here’s a list of NBA teams who have made the most three-pointers in an NBA playoff game:

Oddly enough, you will not see the Golden State Warriors on the list. That’s right, the Splash Brothers (Steph Curry and Klay Thompson), even in their heyday, did not make the list. All that said, in the 2023 NBA Playoffs, they made 21 three-pointers twice against LeBron and the Lakers. 

The 2024 NBA Playoffs have seen the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics each add their names to the list. We also included the total number of 3-pointers attempted and the teams’ 3-point percentage for the game.
