Joe Ingles has shot his way into the Utah Jazz record books with the Australian sinking more long bombs in a season than any other player in the NBA team's history.
The Adelaide sharpshooter, proving he is worth the $US52 million ($A73 million), four-year deal he signed with the franchise last year, achieved the landmark on Saturday when the Jazz beat the Sacramento Kings 103-97 in Salt Lake City.
It was the red hot Jazz's ninth successive victory and places them in the fifth slot in the Western Conference playoff race tied with Patty Mills' San Antonio Spurs and the Minnesota Timberwolves with 40 win, 30 loss records.
