Grayson Allen matched a 25-year NBA record after the Milwaukee Bucks star went 7/7 from three-pointers in the first half of the clash between the Bucks and the Dallas Mavericks.
The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Dallas Mavericks in their latest NBA Eastern Conference encounter on Sunday night. The Bucks defeated their division rivals by a margin of 124-115 at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee on Sunday, courtesy of some heroics from their main man in Giannis Antetokounmpo as well as a record-equaling performance by guard Grayson Allen.
While Giannis Antetokounmpo racked up a game-high 30 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists, it was his teammate Grayson Allen that took most of the headlines in the clash against the Mavs. The Bucks’s starter at guard put on a performance where he racked up 25 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists – but the real significance of his performance could be inferred from his shooting stats.
Allen had an incredible shooting night at the Fiserv Forum on Sunday, as he shot 8 of his total of 10 attempted field goals at a success rate of 80%. In fact, Allen made 7 of his attempted 8 three-pointers, and shot all 7 of his attempted threes in the first half to give the Bucks a telling advantage at the interval – equaling a long-standing NBA shooting record that stood for 25 years.
It turns out that Grayson Allen matched a long-standing NBA shooting record of 25 years with his incredible shooting night at the Fiserv Forum on Sunday.
Not only was Allen’s 7 3-pointers a career-high for the Bucks guard in a single game, Grayson Allen shooting 7-7 from 3-pt range in the 1st half is tied for the most 3-pointers made in a half without a miss over the last 25 seasons.
The win for the Bucks was an important one for the Milwaukee franchise as they strengthened their hold on second place in the division, with a 14-5 record from 19 games.
