Ray Allen hit a pair of first-quarter three-pointers to surpass Reggie Miller as the NBA's all-time leader in made threes on Thursday night.

Miller retired in 2005 with 2,560 made three-pointers.

Between the first and second quarters, the moment was recognized in Boston at the TD Garden. After acknowledging the crowd, Allen went over to greet Miller, sitting courtside as an analyst for TNT, before greeting his family.

"I didn't sleep extremely well last night, and I didn't expect it," Allen said before the game. "I got into trying to talk about shoes, just dealing with everything that was going on today and making sure that everything was together. I didn't sleep extremely well, but during the day I slept well. But, last night, it's just like a little kid. The game itself is big enough. Being on the precipice of breaking this record takes you to another level. I saw Reggie earlier and it's like so surreal because I know Reggie and he's been here many games, but now, being here, in this moment, and being able to say this moment is before us, it seems pretty overwhelming."
