The Nets and Rockets were not bashful from behind the 3-point line Monday, setting a new NBA record for combined 3-point attempts in a single game.
The two teams combined to shoot 89 3-pointers, breaking the previous record by one. The Rockets made 20 of their 50 attempts from behind the arc in a 117-103 home victory.
James Harden, who scored a game-high 37 points with 10 rebounds and eight assists, hit 8 of 13 from beyond the arc.

The Rockets (16-4) also earned their fifth straight win, moving them a game ahead of the Warriors (15-5) in the Western Conference.
