Ladies and gentlemen, I just watched something I've never seen before. And I'm not sure whether to laugh, cry, or just shake my head in disbelief.

The Memphis Grizzlies just tied the NBA single-game record with 29 three-pointers. Twenty-nine. That's history, folks. That's a mark that might never be broken.

And they lost by 16 points.

Let that sink in for a second. They made 29 three-pointers - tying the all-time NBA record - and still got blown out by the Cleveland Cavaliers. This is modern basketball taken to its most absurd conclusion.

But here's where it gets really wild: the Grizzlies were fouling the Cavs late in the game to get more possessions. They were down big, and instead of accepting defeat gracefully, they were intentionally fouling to chase a record while getting destroyed.

I mean, I've seen teams empty the bench when they're up big. I've seen teams play their reserves. But I've never seen a team down 16 points fouling to pad their three-point stats. This is one of the funniest, strangest, most emblematic box scores of the modern NBA.

The three-point revolution has completely changed basketball. We all know that. But this? This is the three-point revolution on steroids. This is analytics run amok. This is what happens when the pursuit of efficiency becomes more important than, you know, actually winning the game.

Don't get me wrong - making 29 three-pointers is an incredible feat. The shooting skill required to even attempt that many threes, let alone make them, is remarkable. But when you're chucking up threes while trailing by double digits and fouling to get more shots up, you've crossed from historic performance into farce.

The Grizzlies will go into the record books. They'll be tied with the Milwaukee Bucks for the most three-pointers in a game. And they'll also be remembered as the team that made history while getting blown out.

That's basketball in 2026, folks. I'm not saying it's good or bad - I'm just saying it's weird.
