Zach LaVine pulled off an astounding franchise feat with his explosive performance in the Sacramento Kings' 127-111 road win over the Miami Heat on Saturday night.

LaVine is going through the 12th year of his NBA career, his second with the Kings. He stands out as one of the best volume scorers in the league, especially from the perimeter.

The veteran guard put that skillset on full display throughout Sacramento's contest against Miami. In 39 minutes of action, he finished with a stat line of 42 points, six rebounds, one assist, and a steal. He shot 12-of-24 from the field, including 8-of-13 from beyond the arc, and 10-of-11 from the free-throw line.

LaVine made franchise history with his performance, per StatMuse. Scoring 42 points, grabbing six rebounds, and making eight triples are things that Keegan Murray last achieved in a game for the team.
