Allen broke the NBA record for 3-pointers in a season by making seven 3-pointers against Denver in the final game of the season. The Seattle shooting guard finished the year with 269, breaking the previous mark of 267 set by Orlando's Dennis Scott in 1995-96. |
| NOTES: |
Allen finished with 27 points and led the Sonics to a 109-98 victory, wrapping up a disappointing year for Seattle, which finished 35-47 a year after winning the Northwest Division title. Allen had an excellent individual season, however, averaging a career-high 25.1 points. |

| NOTES: |
Allen needs nine 3-pointers in the final two games to tie Dennis Scott's NBA record of 267, which was set in 1996. The 30-year-old Seattle shooting guard is averaging a career-best 25.0 points and 4.3 rebounds in 2006. |

Allen moved into second place on the NBA's all-time 3-pointers list on Friday, making a 3-pointer before halftime of Seattle's game against Portland to surpass Dale Ellis, who made 1,720 in his career. |
| NOTES: |
The shooting guard now has 1,723 but has a long way to go to catch Reggie Miller, who holds the record with 2,560 3-pointers. Allen is averaging nearly 25 points per game for Seattle this season and is on pace to make 260 3-pointers, which would be seven shy of the record set by Orlando's Dennis Scott during the 1995-96 season. |
