Kentavious Caldwell-Pope made all six of his 3-point attempts tonight. He became the third player in franchise history, and the first since Larry Hughes (12/31/04), to make all of his 3-pointers on at least six attempts, per @AleCarusone of @washwizardspr.
"Not too many people can really make it out of where [we're from]... Words really can't describe how proud I am of him."
Last night Thomas Bryant exchanged jerseys with Pistons' Isaiah Stewart, whom he's known since they were teenagers in Rochester, NY. https://t.co/E7a3bEH5ag
