Joe Harris couldn’t buy a bucket from inside the arc throughout his eight-point performance in Nets’ 117-106 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. However, the Brooklyn sharpshooter was efficient from deep, finishing 2-for-3 (0-for-6 on 2-point attempts).
And one of those 3-pointers was slightly more significant than the other. Not because of when Harris hit his threes — it had nothing to do with the game itself.
The first 3-pointer Harris made in the win was the 517th he has made in a Nets uniform. With the make, he broke the tie he had with Joe Johnson (516) at No. 4 on the franchise’s all-time 3-pointers made list.
There are now only three players ahead of Harris on the all-time list. Vince Carter is third all-time with 638 3-pointers made. Kerry Kittles is No. 2 at 687 and Jason Kidd is the franchise’s all-time leader with 813 3-pointers made.
But all those players did it in New Jersey. Which means, in passing Johnson, Harris has now made more 3-pointers than anyone who’s played for the Nets since their move to Brooklyn.
