On a new day of the NBA, the Milwaukee Bucks they have beaten the all-time record for triples in the same game by adding 29 hits from the long distance in his unappealable victory over Miami Heat (144-97). After a poor performance against the Knicks, came a triumph with hierarchy and the new brand for the league.
It was a kind of revenge for the Bucks because the Heat had been his executioner in the last semifinals of the Eastern Conference. There was a great team performance, with 12 of 13 players scoring at least one triple.
The main record makers were Jrue Holiday (6), Donte DiVincenzo (5) y Khris Middleton (4). Curiously, the only one who did not score from three points was the great star of the team: the Greek power forward. Giannis Antetokounmpo, MVP in the league in the last two seasons, finished with just 9 points (3/9 in field goals and 0/2 in triples), 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals in his 24 minutes of play.
The strawberry for dessert was placed by the novice Sam Merrill (3 points), who scored the record-breaking triple: “It’s exciting. I am happy that I was at the right time and place. I had no idea (of the record), I didn’t know it until the end of the game. “
What is surprising is that this shocking record set by the Bucks arrives two nights after having barely achieved seven triples in 38 attempts (18.4%), which clearly cost them defeat to the New York Knicks. They vindicated themselves with a shocking record of 29 hits in 51 attempts (56.8%).
The previous record was held by Houstons Rockets, that they scored 27 triples in a match against Phoenix Suns in April 2019.

Furthermore, this victory for 47 point difference It also ranked as one of the largest in NBA history: it was tied for the third broadest of all time against a reigning Eastern Conference champion.
“Some nights the basketball gods are with you, and it’s probably one of those nights for us”, said Mike Budenholzer, the Bucks coach.
