Suns Set 3-Point Franchise Record vs. Mavericks

Entering the game, Phoenix was averaging 14.7 made threes per game , the fifth-best mark in the league, while shooting 36.3% from beyond the arc, with young guards Collin Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin playing an underrated role in this historic achievement.

Across his first three seasons, Goodwin had made just 106 three-pointers. This season alone, however, he has already surpassed that total with 112 made threes for the Suns. Meanwhile, Gillespie recently broke a two-decade-old franchise record for most three-pointers made in a single season.

He set the mark against the Charlotte Hornets, knocking down a catch-and-shoot three to reach 227 and surpass Quentin Richardson, who had previously held the record with 226 during the 2004–05 season. Richardson also led the league in three-pointers that year while shooting 35.8% from deep and averaging 14.9 points across 79 games.

Gillespie, now in his second season with Phoenix, is averaging 12.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game while shooting 41.9% from the field and 40.6% from three-point range.

"It would be special. Definitely something I never thought about, but it'd be really cool to do," Gillespie said last week about potentially setting the record. "Obviously, there's a lot of great players, and (Richardson) is an awesome player, obviously grew up watching him.

"It would be a surreal moment for sure, but just got to keep continuing to play the right way, and if it happens, it happens."

Alongside them, Phoenix’s core trio of Devin Booker, Brooks, and Green has also delivered. All three are shooting over 31% from three-point range while averaging at least 18 points per game, with Booker leading the way at 25.9 points.

The Suns held a 61–53 lead at halftime against Dallas, and a win would improve their record to 44–36 on the season, though it would not significantly impact their position as the seventh seed in the Western Conference.
