7. Danny Green‘s 3-point shooting barrage against the Memphis Grizzlies
The fact that Danny Green is an elite 3-point shooter is no secret. The Raptors certainly knew of that when they included him to the Kawhi-DeRozan trade in July.
During this past season, Green shot a remarkable 45.5 percent from behind the arc, which was by far his career high. This percentage ranked him second in the entire league, behind 3-Point Contest champion Joe Harris.

But the front office must certainly not have expected a performance like the one he had against the Memphis Grizzlies back in January.
Green hit eight triples in that game, including seven made 3-pointers in the third quarter alone. Green was by all means “in the zone,” and there was nothing the opposing team could do to deny him his buckets.
