Grayson Allen’s remarkable performance for the Phoenix Suns against the Toronto Raptors showcased his prowess from beyond the arc and solidified his place in franchise history. 

Allen’s outstanding shooting display in the first quarter, where he drained seven three-pointers, set a new Suns record for most threes in a quarter, surpassing the previous mark held by Cameron Johnson and Troy Daniels.

Despite cooling off in the second half, Allen’s contribution was crucial to the Suns’ victory over the resilient Raptors. His 28-point outing, highlighted by eight three-pointers, underscored his ability to make a significant impact on the game with his shooting prowess.

Allen’s recent performances haven’t been a fluke but rather a continuation of his stellar form throughout the season. Leading the league in three-point percentage, Allen has been a consistent threat from beyond the arc, showcasing his ability to knock down shots off the catch-and-shoot and from the corners. His proficiency in this aspect of the game has made him a valuable asset for the Suns, especially in the absence of star guard Devin Booker due to injury.

The former Duke standout has seamlessly integrated into his role with the Suns, capitalizing on the offensive attention drawn by teammates like Kevin Durant, Booker, and Bradley Beal. Allen’s stellar shooting has not only contributed to the Suns’ success but also elevated his own effectiveness on the court, evident in his career-high effective field goal percentage.

As the Suns continue their campaign, Allen’s consistent performance from beyond the arc will be pivotal in their pursuit of success in the competitive Western Conference. His ability to stretch the floor and capitalize on scoring opportunities will undoubtedly be a key factor in the Suns’ quest for postseason glory.
