Ray Allen broke the NBA record for 3-pointers in a season on Wednesday night in the second quarter of the Seattle SuperSonics' regular-season finale against the Denver Nuggets, the Associated Press is reporting.

Allen gave Seattle a 48-28 lead with his sixth 3-pointer of the game with 6:30 left, his 268th of the season. He broke the previous mark of 267 set by Dennis Scott in the 1995-96 season.

Allen sank five 3-pointers in the first quarter.

After Allen broke the league record, the game was stopped and referee Jack Nies presented him with the ball. The crowd wildly cheered Allen.
