I honestly didn't think anybody this year would be beating Phoenix's performance against Denver (where they hit 20 threes), but it looks like it may have happened today. I was surprised, to say the least. Here are the best games I can remember so far this year:
Boston (vs. Philly) - January 18th
58.9 fg% /
63.6 3fg% (14/22) /
76.2 ft%
Phoenix (vs. Denver) - January 7th
53.8 fg% /
64.5 3fg% (20/31) /
94.4ft%
From today:
Toronto (vs. Boston) - January 23rd
58.0 fg% /
71.4 3fg% (15/21) /
100.0 ft%
I'm sure there are more that should be included here. Post 'em up, because I'm sure I'm missing a few.

Yeah big ups to Toronto for doing it against the best defensive team in the league.

I saw the game. Simply unbelievable! They kept finding a way to score even when Boston adjusted their defense in the 4th quarter.

Didn't the Lakers shoot 66% overall against Philly?

And this can be attributed to just 4 players.
Parker
Delfino
Calderon
Bargnani
Their best 3 point shooter Kapono didnt even take one 3!

Best for the Hornets is this one vs. Miami. 61% from the field 62% from 3. PG's went 20/20 10-10 from 3.

The Magic broke the franchise record tonight as well making 18 three pointers.
Shot 55% for the game too.
Looks like it was a night for 3's.

You'll probably have a hard time finding people who agree that 66/57/87 against the Sixers is better than 58/71/100 against the Celtics. Not that any particular team is more difficult to shoot free throws against

maybe if we were playing the hawks tonight, we would have won by 30.

The 66.2% FG% we had against the Sixers is the highest for any team this season I think. Having said that, I'm hugely impressed at 57/71/100 against the Celtics and that would be the best performance from an overall perspective IMO.

We won by 2 pts only because we had like 17 or 18 turnovers and they had about 12 more offensive rebounds than us... Thats why i was so surprised we won... It was a recipe for disaster... but we pulled through... They made up for the Philly loss i guess...
