More than 1 out of every 3 shots in the NBA now come from 3-point range, an all-time high

It is no secret that more and more NBA teams are relying on three-pointers, and that obsession has reached a new peak this season.

Last season, three teams broke the NBA single-season record of three-pointers attempted in a season, with the Houston Rockets finishing with the most, 3,306. That was 626 more than any previous team had attempted.

This season, the Rockets are on pace for 3,518 three-point attempts and half the league's 30 teams are on pace to shoot at least 2,400 shots from behind the arc. Only 12 teams in NBA history have reached that mark, and 11 of those came in the last two seasons.
