The season's over, but the 'Stros have started. Guess I'm still gonna be nursing that keg...

 

Horry also made a playoff record 7 3-pointers in a game.

Never Underestimate the Heart of a Champion

 

Yeah, Horry hit 7 of of 7 3 Pointers against the suns in 97 i beleive.

------------------

 

i believe Rex Chapman and Vince Carter hold the Playoff(not Finals) record with either 8 or 9 3's in a game. Carter did it this year, Did Iverson tie that as well? I can't remember and don't feel like checking.

oh, reading it again I assume you meant that at that time Horry had the record. Sorry about that.

I could be wrong, but doesn't Kenny Smith hold the record for 7 3-pointers in the Finals? (Game 1 in 95)

------------------

 

Ray Allen tied Carter's record with 9 3's several nights ago.

------------------
"See they pick and pick and pick. Man they picked me to death."
-Steve Francis on the Utah Jazz

 

Horry holds the Record for hitting the most 3's with the best %

------------------

 

But that was only playoffs, not finals right?
