Zach LaVine made individual and dual Chicago Bulls history on Sunday.
Not only did LaVine and DeMar DeRozan become the first duo in franchise history to each have 20 30-point games in a season, LaVine surpassed his own franchise mark for most 3-pointers in a season in the comeback victory over the Memphis Grizzlies.
LaVine sank three 3-pointers on Sunday, pushing his season total to 201 with four games to play. That number eclipsed his total from the 2020-21 season, when LaVine sank 200 3-pointers.
In fact, LaVine now owns the four most prolific 3-point shooting seasons in franchise history, also sinking 185 last season and 184 in 2019-20.
Kirk Hinrich holds the franchise record for most career 3-pointers with 1,049. LaVine passed Ben Gordon this season for second all-time in franchise history and now has sank 932 3-pointers in his six seasons with the Bulls.
LaVine, who has 1,232 career 3-pointers counting his time with the Minnesota Timberwolves, in on pace to pass Hinrich as the Bulls' all-time leader next season.
Steve Kerr, who sank 430 of his career 726 3-pointers during his five seasons with the Bulls, remains the NBA's all-time most accurate 3-point shooter at 45.4 percent. LaVine is a career 38.5 percent 3-point shooter.
