10 three-pointers in one game. TEN.
It’s a feat that no Phoenix Sun has been able to touch until Monday, November 10th, 2025.
Rex Chapman. Quentin Richardson. Channing Frye. Aron Baynes. Landry Shamet. Cam Johnson. Grayson Allen (three times). The list of snipers who racked up nine 3’s, but fell one short of double-digits in their respective career nights. Allen did it three times (four if you count when he was sitting on 9 last night) before finally breaking through.
Not only did Allen drain 10 triples, but he dropped a career-high 42 points in the process. Grayson scored 30 points from three (10-15), 8 points from the charity stripe (8-10), and 4 points from two-point field goals (2-2).
His ability to attack downhill has been a major reason for his (and the team’s) offensive success with him on the court. Allen is not one-dimensional. If you close out too hard, he can attack off the dribble and finish himself or whip it to the open man for a high-quality shot.
Along with the lights-out shooting and ability to attack off the dribble, he can also relocate after kicking it out. This is an underrated and important skill that rewards shooters if done properly. That requires teammates to look for him, and boy, have these Suns shared the ball early on this season. The ball is zipping, credit to Jordan Ott and his squad for buying in.
Allen is shooting 46-of-103 (44.7%) from deep this season in 11 games. He is leading the NBA in three pointers made while shooting it super efficiently in the process. You read that right. He leads the ENTIRE NBA in threes made.
The Duke product is averaging 18.6 points, 4.6 assists, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.5 steals per game.
The crowd gave him a thunderous applause, chanting “MVP! MVP! MVP!” They even chanted his name and gave him a standing ovation as he checked out. These are the nights every basketball player dreams of, especially if you are a role player.
His teammates showed him love on the bench, getting super into his success, continuing to confirm the good vibes we heard all about this entire offseason were not manufactured blabber. It is real. There is something developing here, and it’s fun to watch it unfold.
Even Devin Booker came away impressed, showing Allen some love on social media after the game as well as this quote below.
Devin Booker on Allen using his shooting to open up the rest of his game:
“Yeah, it’s tough to guard. You saw a glimpse of it tonight. You try to close out to him, and he can drive the next action, finish at the rim, and still make plays. Definitely not a one-dimensional player. But everything opens up with the clip that he has.”
Allen, even before last night’s game, has been a crucial piece to this offense and a steady “unsung hero,” as I mentioned in my last piece. I think the unsung part is untrue after this one. And you love to see it.
