It’s not often that NBA teams are happy after a loss, but on this day 25 years ago, the Detroit Pistons were extra sour.
History and a personal accomplishment were achieved for the Orlando Magic on March 19, 1996. On a night where Dennis Scott broke the NBA’s single-season record for made three-pointers, Anthony Bowie capped the night by tallying a controversial triple-double in a 113-91 victory for the Magic.
Entering the contest, Scott had 216 made three-pointers for the season. That was just one shy of John Starks’ record set the year prior. It took less than a quarter for Scott to make history.
