The Phoenix Suns made history before tip-off against the Warriors tonight, Kevin Durant and Devin Booker play at home and are desperate for a win after the upset against the Nets. Suns have had some injuries recently after KD and Bradley Beal were out for several games before returning to grab a win against the Lakers. While the Suns faced issues protecting the ball in Wednesday’s game resulting in multiple shot opportunities for the Nets, history was still being made with the Suns setting a record.

WATCH: Kevin Durant sums up Suns falling 127-117 to Nets

With three-point shooter KD averaging 27.4 points per game and Booker leading the Suns in three-pointers made with 47, the Suns in the first 18 games of the season have combined for a total of 268 threes, the most in Suns franchise history announced via the Suns X account.

The Sun’s shooters do not shy away from the three and have made it an intricate part of the team’s offense, while it may be Booker who pulls up for the three on the fast break or KD rotating away from the ball to get open and splash one deep. With this three-point record in only 18 games into the season, the Suns have a lot of time to continue to make more history after their recent phenomenal achievement.
