CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Charlotte rookie Kon Knueppel set the Hornets’ franchise record for 3-pointers in a season.
Knueppel needed four 3s entering Thursday night's game against the Phoenix Suns. After missing two wide open looks in the fourth quarter Knueppel finally hit his 261st 3-pointer off an assist from Grant Williams as the home crowd erupted in cheers.
The 20-year-old Knueppel beat the previous franchise mark of 260 3-pointers set by Kemba Walker in 2018-19.
Also in the game, the Suns' Collin Gillespie set the team's franchise record for 3-pointers in a season with his 227th basket from long distance, surpassing the mark of 226, set by Quentin Richardson (2004-05).
