Beneath the headlines of a 61-point night are the fine print about Donte DiVincenzo’s enormous effort. Playing 49 minutes, DiVincenzo scored 20 points with six 3-pointers, eclipsing the New York Knicks’ franchise record for 3-pointers in a season. This record was previously held by Evan Fournier, with 241 scored in 2022, but DiVincenzo is looking to break it, sitting at 245 by making threes with nine games remaining.
A regular season made tough by constant injuries in the rotation and trades to improve the roster saw Donte exceed expectations and carve out a leading role with more than his own style of play.
Donte’s health and consistency have made the difference in the team’s record, and without DiVincenzo’s level of play this season New York would not be a top-four seed. Donte is third in the NBA in 3-pointers made, looking to add more history to a record-breaking season for the New York Knicks.
