Jordan Poole put on a show for the Washington Wizards and their fans at the Capital One Arena during their 120-94 loss against the Miami Heat last night.
The 25-year-old guard put up 35 points (game-high), three rebounds, four assists, two steals, and seven three-pointers on 10-for-17 shooting from the field in 29 minutes. In doing so, he set the new record for most made three-pointers in a single season.
Poole came into the game with 221 triples and needed to convert three from downtown to surpass Bradley Beal’s single-season mark (223) during the 2016-17 regular season. He can extend his new mark with seven games remaining.
Tristan Vukcevic was the only other Washington Wizards player who notched double-digit points. The Serbian-Swedish international had 14 points and four rebounds on 6-for-13 shooting from the field.
