Marshall matches NBA record with 12 three-pointers
Donyell Marshall matched the NBA record with 12 three-pointers and the Toronto Raptors broke the league mark with 21 from behind the arc en route to a 128-110 rout of Philadelphia.
Marshall equaled the mark with a three-pointer from the right corner with 2:52 to play. He remained in the game for a chance to break the record but did not make another.
Overall, Marshall scored a career-high 38 points on 13-of-22 shooting and grabbed 10 rebounds in just 28 minutes off the bench. His previous career high was 37 with Golden State at Milwaukee on February 23, 2000.
Marshall led an awesome display from the arc by the Raptors as they exploited the defense of the 76ers, which is designed to flood the side of the court with the ball and surrender perimeter shots from the weak side.
Toronto made 21-of-34 three-point attempts to break the NBA record of 19 set by Atlanta against Dallas on December 17, 1996. In addition to Marshall, Morris Peterson was 4-of-6, Rafer Alston was 2-of-3, Jalen Rose 2-of-4 and rookie Matt Bonner 1-of-2.
Despite making 12-of-18 three-pointers in the first half, Toronto held just a 63-60 lead. But the Raptors scored the first six points of the decisive third quarter, when they scored 36 points with the help of just four three-pointers to open a 99-75 lead.
