Collin Gillespie sets a new Suns franchise record for 3-pointers in a season. He achieves this milestone during the second quarter of a 127-107 loss to the Charlotte Hornets. Gillespie drains his 227th 3-pointer, breaking Quentin Richardson's previous record of 226 set in the 2004-05 season.
Despite the achievement, Gillespie expresses disappointment in his performance, scoring only six points on 2-of-7 shooting from beyond the arc. "I gotta start finding it again," he says, addressing the Suns’ struggles. This marks the team's sixth road loss in their last seven outings. Gillespie emphasizes the need for improved communication and teamwork as they work through injuries.
On the other side, Charlotte rookie Kon Knueppel also sets a franchise record. Needing four 3-pointers to break Kemba Walker's 2018-19 record of 260, Knueppel finally hits his 261st with an assist from Grant Williams after missing two open shots in the fourth quarter.
Both players leave their mark on the game, but the Suns and Hornets focus on team performance moving forward. The records are a highlight amidst the competitive challenges.
