We all should have seen this as a possibility as soon as Domantas Sabonis scored 30 points against the Knicks without missing a shot in a Pacers win. The second that game ended, we all should have watched to see is Sabonis could break the Pacers record for shooting percentage in a single season.
And by god, he did it. Domantas Sabonis now hold the Pacers franchise record for shooting percentage in a season at 59% on the nose.
That “on the nose” addendum is important. Massively so, in fact. Sabonis hit 413 of his 700 shot attempts this season, which is exactly 59%, not a decimal more or less.
