The Utah Jazz initially broke their team record for most threes on Dec. 4, 2018, against the San Antonio Spurs.They tied this record during a road trip to New York on March 20, 2019. Utah had the Knicks’ number from the opening tip and at the half they owned a 74-47 lead before finishing the game with a 137-116 romp.
Donovan Mitchell (five 3s) and Joe Ingles (six 3s) ignited the team’s 3-point barrage, while Jae Crowder and Kyle Korver splashed three triples apiece off the bench. Royce O’Neale and Raul Neto each added in a 3 and with 2:47 remaining in the fourth quarter, Grayson Allen drained the team’s 20th 3 to tie the record.

Granted, the Knicks weren’t the strongest of opponents at the time, but winning at MSG in dominating fashion is always a great feeling for a team. Moreover, this win capped off a five game winning streak, and following their victory in New York, the Jazz finished the season 8-3.
