Andre Drummond sets new career high with dagger 3 over KAT
In a development that absolutely no one expected, Andre Drummond has officially entered his archer era. The Philadelphia 76ers center, historically known for owning the paint and gobbling up rebounds, decided to extend his reach in the most chaotic way possible on Friday night showdown against the New York Knicks.
Drummond didn’t just hit a lucky shot; went 3-of-4 from downtown, setting a new career high for 3-pointers made in a single game.
The decisive moment came with more than 8 minutes left in the third quarter. With the Sixers clinging to the lead and the shot clock winding down, Drummond found himself isolated against the Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns. Instead of driving or looking for a handoff, the big man calmly determined KAT, the self-proclaimed greatest scorer of all time, and stopped. Cash.
“Dagger” brought the Philadelphia bench into hysteria. It was a surreal scene at Madison Square Garden, as the Knicks faithful could only watch in disbelief as Drummond held up his extension and then pointed to KAT.
“Andre Drummond can’t miss!” the broadcast crew exclaimed, echoing the sentiments of NBA Twitter, which immediately went into meltdown mode.
While Drummond’s stat line will show his usual impact on the scoreboard, a 75% clip from deep will dominate the headlines. For a player who has spent the vast majority of his career exclusively within five feet of the basket, this sudden evolution adds a hilarious and dangerous wrinkle to the Sixers’ offense.
If Drummond is going to space the floor and hit step-back threes in the clutch, the rest of the league may have to reevaluate the scouting report. For one night in New York, a beast in the paint became a threat at the rim, and the Knicks paid the price.
