The Warriors took care of business against a young and undermanned Orlando squad in the 2021.12.06.ORL-GSW game and Andrew Wiggins hit his career high eight threes in a game. The magic were threatening to make a game of it. They'd cut it to 16, which doesn't sound like a game until you realize they were down by 20 something points, not too long ago, but then Wiggins just got on fire and ended the game.

By the way, if the Pacers were this close to tearing it down and rebuilding, why did they pick a 24 year old in the draft?
We need a ruling from the Basketball Fairness Gods. Apricot, you've talked about this on the videos -- when can you leave a guy in in the fourth quarter, do you take the very last shot, etc. We need a pre-ruling now because if we actually think Steph might go for the record against Portland, we would probably be looking at 1) Serious chucking throughout the game and 2) Possible last-minute chucking. This could be an NBA Etiquette Violation on a scale not seen since Kobe's last game. (Well really nothing could ever reach that level, that was crazy.) So: if Steph shoot 16-40 on threes including two in the last minute, that would be two records, and an epic game. But would it break any unwritten rules?
