With that make, Knueppel's season total reached 261 three-pointers, surpassing former Hornets guard and current Hornets player development coach Kemba Walker, who set the franchise's single-season three-point record in the 2018-19 season. 

Knueppel now stands alone as the player with the most three-pointers made in a single season in Hornets history. He finished the game with 20 points, leading Charlotte to a 127-107 victory.

Additionally, on the league's season leaderboard for total three-pointers made, Knueppel currently sits at No. 1, surpassing Luka Dončić. He is on track to become the first rookie in NBA history to lead the league in three-pointers made in a single season.
