Joe Harris is in a groove right now and continues to reach milestones as a result.
Brooklyn’s sharpshooter scored 16 points in the Nets’ 45-point first quarter on Sunday. In the process, he accomplished three things.
By nailing a 3-pointer, Harris took another step toward D’Angelo Russell’s franchise record of 61 games in-a-row with a made 3-pointer. He’s now at 59 games.
Harris also entered the game with 3,269 points scored in a Brooklyn uniform, so he only needed seven points to pass Deron Williams (3,275 points) for fourth-most points scored in a Brooklyn uniform (since 2012-13) — he did so easily in the first. Harris now only trails Spencer Dinwiddie (3,900), Joe Johnson (4,240) and Brook Lopez (6,065).
Last but not least, Harris went 4-for-4 from deep in the first quarter. With that fourth 3-pointer, the sharpshooter passed Williams in another category: most threes made in a single season by a Nets player. Williams’ 2012-13 total (169) was fourth-most all-time.
Harris also has the mark for third-most 3-pointers made in a single season by a Nets player. (183 in 2018-19).
