The Los Angeles Clippers are one of the top three shooting teams in the league and there is a reason for it. Against one of the best shooting teams in the league, the Clippers shot at a breathtaking 78.3 percent from downtown en route to an NBA record for a team with 15-plus makes or 20-plus attempts in a single game.

Tobias Harris exploded for 6-for-7 from behind the arc and Danilo Gallinari went perfect 5-for-5 from the three-point line. The Clippers' 18 treys, including 13-for-14 in the first half, ties the franchise record for the second-most in a game. Overall, the Clippers' players combined for 18-for-23 from deep.

On a night when the Clippers committed as many as 17 turnovers, it was their unconscious three-point shooting that helped them take the game to the wire.
