Max Christie as in his garden
Can you achieve a career best performance without breaking your own scoring record? Max Christie can ask the question after his performance in New York, in the Mavericks win. He finished this game with 26 points, which is two points less than his record, established on January 2, 2025 with 28 points against Portland in the colors of the Lakers.
On the 3-pointer, on the other hand, the guard just had his best night with eight points (compared to five against the Blazers). At Madison Square Garden, he posted an excellent 8/10 in practice.
“My teammates were very good at giving me open shots. I moved without the ball to find my positions and was aggressive. It feels good to make 10 3-point shots and score 8.”, he reactscheeky address. “When you’re in the zone, you’re a little unconscious. You don’t really understand what’s going on around you. We’re in a different state and the body takes over. That’s what happens.” It’s obviously a great feeling to be able to hit so many rewarding shots. I want to live it, that’s clear. »
Invited to a 3-point contest?
If only I could get the franchise record. George McCloud (in 1995), Wesley Matthews (in 2015) and Tim Hardaway Jr. (2021) each made 10 3-pointers with the Mavericks. Max Christie could have played a few more minutes to match him, or even beat him, but the match script didn’t offer him this window.
“I didn’t know, but I’m not worried, I’ll have other opportunities”warns about this record. “We don’t play for records, we play to win, so if the match is a chance to break it, why not. But for us it’s about doing the right thing and giving others a chance to play at the end.”excuses Jason Kidd.
What if, with that kind of performance a month before the All-Star Game, the Texan was invited to the 3-point contest? “That would be really cool. I wouldn’t spit on it. It would be like a dream and if I get the call, it would be crazy.”one who has a 46% success rate from long range this season slips away.
