NBA Players with the Most Three-Pointers Made in a Single Game

The three-point shot has become one of the elements that has most redefined modern basketball. Over the years, the significance of the outside shot has grown, becoming the offensive centerpiece for many franchises. This trend has not only transformed the way teams attack but has also propelled several players to achieve historic numbers from beyond the arc.

One of the most memorable performances occurred on October 29, 2018, when Klay Thompson had a legendary night. The shooting guard - from the Golden State Warriors - made 14 three-pointers against the Chicago Bulls, setting an NBA record in a single game. Thompson finished with 52 points, hitting 18 of 29 field goal attempts and an impressive 14 of 24 from long range.

The evolution of the outside shot continues to produce new records. In November 2025, Moses Moody had an explosive start against the New Orleans Pelicans by hitting seven threes in just the first quarter, his personal best. With that streak, he tied Stephen Curry as the second Warriors player with the most three-pointers in a single quarter.

Throughout the years, several specialists have made their mark on this statistic. The list of players with the most threes in a game reflects both the evolution of the sport and the influence of shooters who have changed the way long-range shooting is perceived. Among them are figures like Damian Lillard, Zach LaVine, and Curry himself, who has delivered several historic performances. It also includes names from earlier eras, such as Donyell Marshall or Kobe Bryant, who set a precedent for current shooters in their time.
