New York — It was something of an homage to Michael Jordan.
Langston Galloway had continued his hot shooting, having made five 3-pointers in Sunday’s win over the Chicago Bulls. He launched his sixth and like the others, it went through the nets. Galloway got back on defense and shrugged — reminiscent of when Jordan shrugged in the 1992 NBA Finals, when he made six 3-pointers.
Galloway is in that rarified air of shooting, having made his last 12 3-pointers, one short of the NBA record set by the Pistons’ Terry Mills. Galloway went for the record in Monday night’s showdown against the Nets but missed his first attempt, in the second quarter, ending the run at the record.
