Move over Ray Allen and Michael Redd, there's a new sharpshooter for the Milwaukee Bucks in the name of Bryn Forbes. The Bucks reserve guard lit it up against the New York Knicks on Thursday with a historic shooting night to outdo Allen and Redd. Forbes erupted for 21 points in 18 minutes off the bench and didn't even miss a shot from long distance.
Forbes was automatic from downtown and was 7-of-7 from three-point country in the Bucks' 134-101 blowout rout of the Knicks. According to the Bucks' Twitter account, this made the 27-year-old Forbes as the only player in Bucks history to knock down seven three-pointers without a miss.

Forbes did end up missing two shots from the field that put a dent on what would've been an immaculate shooting performance.
After spending his first four years in the NBA under the tutelage of Gregg Popovich and the San Antonio Spurs, Forbes has become an impact player for the Bucks this season as they try to contend for an NBA title. So far, Forbes has been a dependable option off the bench and has even made it to the Bucks' starting lineup six times in less than 40 games so far.
The streak-shooting Forbes has been hitting at a career-best 46.7 percent from long distance this season before their game against the Knicks, and that was certainly in full display on Thursday.
The Bucks have been looking for shooters to spread the floor and help Giannis Antetokounmpo operate and they've certainly found a gem with Bryn Forbes in their roster.
