San Antonio Spurs' guard Danny Green has solidified his spot as one of the NBA's premier sharp shooters as he has now converted 25 three-point field goals during the NBA Finals, breaking a record previously held by the Miami Heat's Ray Allen.
The former D-Leaguer has put on a remarkable performance, going 25 for 38 from the three-point line during these playoffs. In Sunday's crucial Game 5 114-104 victory over the Heat, Green went 6 for 10 from beyond the ark, giving him a total of 24 points by the time the game concluded.
Allen previously held the record for the Finals and a six-game playoff series with 22.
With Game 6 on Tuesday in Miami, Green is on pace to approaching the top 3-point shooting performances of all time, which includes:
28 - Dennis Scott, Orlando vs. Indiana, 1995 (43.1 percent)
28 - Ray Allen, Milwaukee vs. Philadelphia, 2001 (50.9)
27 - Ray Allen, Boston vs. Chicago, 2009 (46.6)
Though Scott shot 43.1 percent, Green is currently shooting an impressive 65.8 percent. The NBA record for a six-game series is 68.0 (Steven Jackso, Spurs) and 66.7 for a seven-game series (Gordon Giricek, Utah Jazz).
"I hope he doesn't wake up," Duncan said, "and keeps playing this way."
