Houston Rockets was on fire from the 3-point range Wednesday.

Houston broke the NBA's single-game 3-point record by hitting 26 in a 136-118 win over the Wizards. The previous record was set by the Cavaliers in March 2017.

More impressively, the Rockets nearly made 50 percent of its shots from behind the arc (47.3).

Gary Clark tied the record with the 25th-made 3-pointer in the fourth quarter and Michael Carter-Williams broke it soon after.

James Harden led the way for the Rockets with 35 points. He hit six of his 11 3-point attempts.

Houston has now won five games in a row and at 16-14 is two games over .500 for the first time since Nov. 21.
