Scoring for 3 point shots Topic

It seems made 3 point shots are only worth 1 point. Anyone know why? I've checked multiple games in multiple leagues, the scoring just doesn't add up.

In this particular game the Trinity team made 7 3 point shots, but was credited with only 7 points, not 21.

Every line score in the 20 or so random games I looked at is the same...1 point for a made 3 point shot.

I think you're not mathing right...

Trinity made 23 shots from the field, total.

7 of those were threes. 7 x 3 = 21
So 16 of those were twos. 16 x 2 = 32
There were also 16 made free throws. 16 x 1 = 16

21 + 32 + 16 = 69 which is the number of points Trinity scored.

The 7 of 23 at the bottom of the box score is the number of made 3s and number of 3s attempted.

Yeah, total brain fart on my part. I was considering the 23 of 56 shots from the field as made 2's not total. I do know better...face palm duh! Thanks.
