7: Three-pointers in consecutive December games by Ryan Anderson in '13-14
When New Orleans All-Star forward Anthony Davis accidentally hit his left hand on the rim at Madison Square Garden during the first half of a Dec. 1 game last season, resulting in a fracture, things looked dire for the Pelicans. Instead of faltering, however, New Orleans went on to pick up a dramatic road victory against New York, then posted an even more thrilling, triple-overtime win at Chicago the next night.
Ryan Anderson was the biggest single factor behind the Pelicans’ ability to prevail without their rising second-year star. For the first time in Anderson’s six-year NBA career, he drained seven three-pointers in consecutive games, going exactly 7-for-11 against both the Knicks and Bulls. The effectiveness from three-point range comprised a big chunk of what turned out to be 31- and 36-point games by Anderson, the latter a career high.
