Lakers' Dalton Knecht Dominates with 37 Points, Ties Rookie Record with Nine 3-Pointers

A Remarkable Performance Knecht's performance against the Jazz was nothing short of spectacular. He showcased his scoring ability by shooting an impressive 12-of-16 from the field, including an eye-popping 9-of-12 from beyond the arc. His ability to shoot the ball efficiently and effectively has quickly made him a fan favorite in Los Angeles. Moreover, his contribution extended beyond scoring, as he added five rebounds and, crucially, had zero turnovers during the game. This level of efficiency is rare for a rookie, especially one who has only recently entered the league. Historic Achievement Tying the NBA rookie record for most 3-pointers in a single game is no small feat. Knecht’s nine long-range shots matched the achievements of notable players like Keyonte George, Yogi Ferrell, and Rodrigue Beaubois, all of whom set their records later in the season after gaining valuable experience. The fact that Knecht accomplished this in just his fourth game makes it even more remarkable. Fans and analysts alike are buzzing about what this means for his future and the Lakers as a team. A Moment to Remember One of the standout moments of the game was a stretch where Knecht scored 18 consecutive points for the Lakers, showcasing his ability to take over a game. After hitting one of his many 3-pointers, he famously gave a nod to Michael Jordan with the iconic shrug, a gesture that perfectly encapsulated the confidence he displayed throughout the night. This moment will likely be remembered as a highlight in his burgeoning career.
