History

Historical Context

The NBA's introduction of the three-point line in 1995 transformed scoring and strategy, influencing team dynamics. The Chicago Bulls, led by Michael Jordan, set a record of 72 wins in the 1995-96 season, a benchmark later matched by the Golden State Warriors in 2016. This evolution reflects the league's growing focus on offensive efficiency, as seen in the Oklahoma City Thunder's impressive 26-3 record.
