Donte DiVincenzo sincerely believed that the record he had established on Monday night was on the verge of being surpassed merely 48 hours later.
In the game following DiVincenzo’s remarkable feat of setting the Knicks franchise record with 11 made 3-pointers during Monday’s dominant victory over the Pistons, Miles McBride single-handedly knocked down six 3-pointers in the Knicks’ explosive 45-point first quarter on Wednesday night in Toronto.
The emerging third-year guard had accumulated a total of nine treys by the time Tom Thibodeau decided to remove him and the rest of the starters from the game barely halfway through the fourth quarter of their resounding 145-101 triumph over the Raptors.
“I was genuinely curious. I thought Thibs might keep him in there. I was actually hoping he would,” remarked DiVincenzo following the game. “But obviously, we had a comfortable lead.
“I assured [McBride] that he’ll have another opportunity to achieve it, without a doubt.”
