Since coming to the Los Angeles Lakers in February’s blockbuster Russell Westbrook trade, shooting guard Malik Beasley has struggled mightily.

He came into Tuesday’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans shooting a paltry 37.0 percent from the field and 32.6 percent from 3-point range in 12 contests with Los Angeles.

But Beasley broke out in a huge way against the Pelicans.

He shot 7-of-10 from beyond the arc in the first half to propel the Lakers to a 75-40 halftime lead, and he finished with 24 points on 8-of-16 overall shooting and 7-of-12 from downtown in their 123-108 win.

In doing so, Beasley made Lakers history as only their third player to ever hit seven triples in one half.

Across Twitter, fans were amazed at his red-hot performance.
