The record for FGA attempts in a game without a miss is 14 since the NBA/ABA merger. Gary Payton in 1995 and Thomas Bryant on December 22nd, 2018.

Check out his shot chart -

Also - Wilt had four games where he shot better than 14 for 14 including one game of 18 for 18.

Here's a question: Would we rather see Booker get this kind of experience at point guard and lose a game or have Crawford run point to give us a better offense and have us win?
What concerns me is that even with Jamal bringing it up , our off ball movement doesn't get the ball to Booker in good spots
The play usually ends up with Jamal or Book going PnR , lot of guys just standing around

Agreed. I'd love to see Booker run off some screens and get some open looks to catch and shoot. But going back to the Knicks and Celts game, Jamal was doing a good job getting others involved. And I don't mind Booker handling the ball so much so long as he's decisive and decides to make a move. It's when he's ISO'd, pounding the ball, trying to catch a screen 28ft out and everyone's standing around and the defense is just waiting...it isn't working. He's trying to play the way Jamal and Harden play but he's just not there yet.

Bryant scored a career-high 31 points on a perfect shooting performance. He became only the fifth player to shoot 14-for-14 or better from the field in a game in NBA history and the first since Gary Payton in 1995.
Seriously?!

It might be oversimplified, but when Ayton or Holmes go to contest shots nobody blocks out the other team's big men or switch over to cover them in case a pass is dumped off to them - so they're getting a lot of easy attempts.

We still need a point guard. Same old issue.
I think Igor's unwillingness to play Melton says more about Igor than Melton. He was having a good game but decided to ride the 38-year-old Crawford through the 4th and 3 OTs? A dumb mistake to say the least.
Crawford and Melton are combo guards at best.
We don’t have a true point guard on the roster.

Crawford is a combo guard at best, but Melton is just a raw rookie. Melton played one year of college ball and didn't even play basketball last year.

Didn't go back and watch this one. I'm too pissed that we let a scrub like Bryant go 14-14. Disgraceful.

Wouldn't have happened if we played Bender this year.
