The Atlanta Hawks absolutely caught fire on Tuesday against the New Orleans Pelicans as they set a new NBA record for the most three-pointers made in a single quarter without missing.
The Hawks went 11-of-11 from distance in a whirlwind of a third period and here's a look at each of those 11 triples (h/t NBA on Twitter):

We know we always say something along the lines that he/they couldn't miss, but this time around, the Hawks literally could not miss a single three-point attempt throughout the period. Talk about a hot hand.
Trae Young had his fair share of moments during this incredible run, and he came up with a couple of long-distance bombs that found the bottom of the net. One of his treys even took a couple of bounces before falling in. Kevin Huerter, Bogdan Bogdanovic, and even newcomer Lou Williams joined in on the fun for the Hawks.
Unsurprisingly, Atlanta outscored the Pelicans 46-29 in the third frame. They used this furious run to separate themselves from Zion Williamson and Co., as the Hawks emerged with a 123-107 win over New Orleans. That's now four straight wins for Atlanta, who themselves are looking like one of the hottest teams in the NBA right now.
