The Phoenix Suns set an NBA record for the most three-pointers made in a single season during their game against Denver.
The Phoenix Suns made NBA history by setting a new record for three-pointers made in a season. In their game against the Denver Nuggets, the team sank 23 shots from beyond the arc, surpassing the previous mark. This game was the Suns' 72nd of the 2025-26 season.
The three-point revolution in Phoenix
Under the guidance of head coach Mike D'Antoni, Phoenix continues to refine its offensive philosophy. This season, the team is demonstrating unprecedented efficiency in long-range shooting, averaging 18.9 three-point attempts per game with a 39% success rate.
We just play the basketball we love. The guys worked hard on their shots, and now it's paying off.

Key success factors
Analysts note a change in the training process at the club, where 60% of the time is now dedicated to working on three-point shots. The new acquisitions of the season—sharpshooters Tyler Herro and Buddy Hield—have significantly strengthened the team's perimeter game.
The progress of center Deandre Ayton is particularly impressive, as he has improved his three-point shooting from 28% to 41% this season, becoming a legitimate threat from beyond the arc.
Experts predict that this record may not last long, as the entire league continues to evolve toward more three-point shooting.
