#3 Three-Point shooting

Houston Rockets v Golden State Warriors - Game Three
Warriors changed the league with their 3-point shooting

The Warriors changed the league with their red-hot 3-point shooting. Guard Stephen Curry is a ridiculous shooter who shoots at 43.6 percentage from the 3-point line. Klay Thompson, the other half of the 'Splash Brothers' shoots at an equally ridiculous 42.2 percentage from the distance.

With their 3-point shooting skills, they changed the other teams' perception of what makes for winning NBA titles. In the 2015-16 regular-season, Stephen Curry went on to make 402 three-pointers breaking his own record of 286 made three-pointers, established the season before this one. In the same 2015-16 regular-season, Klay Thompson was second on the list with 276 three-pointers which talks about the fire-power in their 3-point shooting.

Not just the Curry-Thompson duo, Kevin Durant in the 2017-18 season shot 41.9 percentage from the 3-point line and sank 173 three-pointers. With shooting machines everywhere on the court, this team's success transcended to the next level.
