Wayne Ellington Makes NBA History

Posted Apr 5, 2018
No player in NBA history has made more threes off the bench than the 207 Wayne Ellington has made this season. Ellington’s third three-pointer of the night Wednesday moved him past Houston’s Eric Gordon (206 in 2016) for the record. He was surprised to learn after the game he had set the record. “That’s a great accomplishment to set any NBA record.” (Miami Herald)
