Brooklyn Nets guard Egor Demin set an NBA rookie record Friday night by making a 3-pointer in his 34th straight game. Demin set the record on the first basket for the Nets against the Utah Jazz. He finished 6 for 12 from long distance, scoring 25 points and collecting 10 rebounds in a 109-99 victory for Brooklyn. Three of those long distance baskets came in the fourth quarter to help the Nets pull away late. “There’s a reason why we drafted him,” Brooklyn coach Jordie Fernandez said. “We believed that (his) shooting was NBA shooting and he’s proven it from the beginning.” Demin entered Friday’s game tied with Portland’s Rudy Fernandez (2008-09) and Philadelphia’s Landry Shamet (2018-19).
