"Against the Hawks in Atlanta, Hauser hit 10 triples and became the first player in NBA history to attempt 20+ 3-point field goals without attempting a 2-point shot. He went 10-21 from beyond the arc on Saturday. That percentage would have been far higher had he not begun chasing Boston's single-game 3-point record in garbage time; he'd been 10-15 at one point in the fourth quarter before missing his last six attempts."
"Still, scoring 30 points and 10 threes was a remarkable enough feat, though actually not all unfamiliar to Hauser. Incidentally, the Celtics sharpshooter had a nearly identical night in that aforementioned contest against the Wizards, Hauser also scored 30 points, hitting 10 threes and not attempting a 2-point field goal. However, in that game he only attempted 13 threes."
Sam Hauser became the first NBA player to attempt 20 or more three-pointers in a game without taking a shot inside the arc, doing so against the Atlanta Hawks. He finished 10-for-21 from three and scored 30 points, briefly reaching 10-for-15 before missing his final six attempts while chasing Boston's single-game three-point record in garbage time. Hauser previously had a nearly identical performance against the Washington Wizards, scoring 30 with 10 threes while attempting only 13 long-range shots and no two-point attempts. Teammate Jaylen Brown recalled a prior near-record and said teammates were rooting for Hauser.
