It's not often a player joins Stephen Curry's and Michael Jordan's company with a single-game performance. But that's the level Zach LaVine reached with his 41-point outing against the Philadelphia 76ers.

LaVine's third game with 10+ 3s

LaVine had 11 three-pointers in a 126-112 victory that snapped the Chicago Bulls 12-game losing streak against the Sixers. The 2x All-Star was two 3-pointers shy of tying the franchise record he set when he hit 13 threes in a win over the Charlotte Hornets on November 23, 2019.

“Once I got it going, that basket looked like an ocean,” LaVine said after the game.

Zach joined Stephen Curry as the only player to make at least 11 three-pointers while shooting 80 percent or more. LaVine shot 11-of-13 from long range in yesterday's game; the Golden State Warriors' superstar did it on February 27, 2013 when he went off for 54 points against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.

Only 2 players in NBA history have had a game with 11 made threes on 80%+ 3PT shooting.

This was LaVine's third career game with more than 10 three-pointers made—he now ranks fourth on the list of guys who racked up 10+ threes in a single game behind only Curry, Klay Thompson, and Damian Lillard.

40+ point games in Bulls history

LaVine's incredible scoring display against the 76ers further cemented him on the list of Bulls' players with multiple 40-point games—the 27-year-old ranks second behind only Michael Jordan.

This was Zach's 17th game with 40+points scored as a Bull; MJ reached that threshold in 203 games (including playoffs) during his run in Chicago. DeMar DeRozan, who had a quiet 12-point night against the 76ers, sits fourth on the list with 10 40+point games. Third-placed Bob Love, who played for the Bulls in the 70s, did it 13 times.
