History was made at SAP Garden on Friday night as Andreas Obst set the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague record for three-pointers made by draining 11 triples on 16 attempts in FC Bayern Munich's dominant 100-78 win over FC Barcelona.
Obst broke the record with 36 seconds to go in the fourth quarter, having had 10 three-pointers made at the end of the third, which had him tied with Shane Larkin (twice), Andrew Goudelock, and Marcus Eriksson for the most all-time in a single game.
Larkin had 10 three-pointers made on two occasions in the 2019-20 season, first in Round 11 against Bayern and then in Round 28 against Olympiacos Piraeus, while Eriksson made 10 in Round 28 of the 2020-21 season against Khimki Moscow Region and Goudelock swished 10 in Round 5 of the 2014-15 campaign against Bayern.
His 11 three-point makes also comfortably set a new club record for Bayern. The previous record was 7, held by Obst (twice) and DJ Seeley. Obst twice hit 7 three-pointers in two games in the 2022-23 season – in Round 30 at EA7 Emporio Armani Milan and in Round 33 at Real Madrid – while Seeley struck 7 triples in Round 18 of the 2020-21 campaign.
If that wasn’t all, Obst set a new career high with 34 points, beating his previously tally of 27 which came in that Round 30 clash against Milan.
Speaking after the game, Obst was his typical humble self. “Somebody told me during the game, 'You need one more,' that’s why I was kind of aware of it,” he told EuroLeague TV. “Sure, a special night. First of all, I’m super happy for the team. Going to the national team break now, 6-0 at home, great record.”
Obst also had a special message for his teammates, with the Germany international thanking them for helping make this accomplishment possible and stepping up in the early months of the season: “I think the work, the work over the last [few] weeks, has been good. Also my teammates, they believed in me all the time. I had a tough start to the season, but they believed in me, they cheered for me, they gave me confidence, and it paid off. I’m super happy and super happy to have them around me. It also goes to them.”
