20 is a lot of threes to make, especially given that the Jazz only shot 33 of them. It’s the 76th 3-point game in NBA history, but only the fifth one ever in which the team shot 33 or fewer threes.
And now comes a disappointing but real bit of truth: I think a lot of it was 3-point variance, in other words, mostly randomness. If we chalk certain Jazz losses up to them just not making open shots (and there has been a lot of that this year, with the Jazz getting the second-most wide-open shots in the league), then we also have to be fair and say they probably got a little lucky in making 20.
