CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Phoenix guard Collin Gillespie set the Suns’ franchise record for three-pointers in a season on Thursday night.
Gillespie set the mark in the second quarter of the Suns’ game against the Charlotte Hornets. He hit his 227th three-pointer from the wing, surpassing the record of 226 threes set by Quentin Richardson in the 2004-05 season.
Also in the game, Charlotte rookie Kon Knueppel set the Hornets’ franchise record for three-pointers in a season.
Knueppel needed four threes entering Thursday night’s game and, after missing two wide-open looks in the fourth quarter, Knueppel finally hit his 261st three-pointer off an assist from Grant Williams.
The 20-year-old Knueppel beat the previous franchise mark of 260 three-pointers set by Kemba Walker in 2018-19.
