Former Iowa standout and Sacramento Kings' rising star, Keegan Murray, had a night to remember on Saturday as he etched his name into the NBA record books. Murray's impressive display saw him set a new NBA record and break the Kings' long-standing record for points in a quarter.

The game against the Utah Jazz proved to be a coming-out party for Murray, as he scored a staggering 26 points in the third quarter alone. This outstanding feat established a new franchise record for the Kings, surpassing Mitch Richmond's 25-point quarter set back in 1995.

The highlight of Murray's mesmerizing performance came as he drained a buzzer-beating 3-pointer right at the end of the third quarter, giving the Kings a commanding 106-76 lead. In doing so, Murray not only showcased his shooting prowess but also set an NBA record by making 11 consecutive shots from beyond the arc. This feat shattered the previous record of 10 straight made 3-pointers held by Ty Lawson since 2010.

Murray's incredible shooting display continued throughout the night, as he finished the game with an impressive 47 points in just 36 minutes. His scoring spree was supplemented by an exceptional shooting percentage of 92.3% from behind the 3-point line, as he connected on 12 of his 13 attempts. Despite falling short of Klay Thompson's record of 14 made 3-pointers in a single game, Murray became only the seventh player in NBA history to achieve at least 12 made 3-pointers in a game.

This record-setting performance is a testament to Murray's remarkable progress in the NBA. The young Cedar Rapids native, now in his second year as a professional, showcased his potential by surpassing his previous career-high of 30 points and a franchise rookie-record of eight 3-pointers. Murray's rookie season was also noteworthy, as he set an NBA record for the most 3-pointers made by a rookie in a season with 206.

Murray's impressive showing against the Jazz not only catapulted the Kings to a resounding 125-104 victory but also elevated his season scoring average from 13.8 to 15.5 points per game. Additionally, his 3-point shooting percentage rose from 30.2% to an impressive 35.7%.

With his record-breaking performance, Murray has firmly established himself as a rising star to watch in the NBA. His ability to knock down shots from beyond the arc with uncanny precision and efficiency has drawn comparisons to some of the game's greatest shooters. As the season progresses, fans eagerly await to see if Murray can build upon his historic night and further solidify his place in NBA lore.
