LaMelo Ball is now in the record book.

Ball hit the 1,000th 3-pointer of his career early in the first quarter Monday night. It came in his 311th game. No player in NBA history has reached that mark faster.

He went on to score a season-high 34 points as the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Milwaukee Bucks 112-100.

Passing the sharpshooters

The old record belonged to Duncan Robinson. He needed 343 games to make 1,000 3-pointers.

Stephen Curry, the all-time leader in made 3-pointers, ranks sixth on the list of fastest to the milestone.

Ball made six 3-pointers on 13 attempts. He shot 12 of 21 overall with six rebounds.

A big night through a sore wrist

Ball was listed as questionable before the game with a bruised right wrist. It did not slow him down.

He scored 13 of Minnesota's first 17 points. He had 24 by halftime, which matched his previous high for an entire game this season.

His sixth 3-pointer came midway through the fourth quarter. It put the Wolves up 96-81.

Help from the bench

Ayo Dosunmu added 19 points with a season-high 12 rebounds. Jaden McDaniels scored 13, six of them during an 11-3 run to open the fourth quarter.

Six Minnesota players reached double figures.

The Wolves are still without Anthony Edwards, who is out after knee surgery. Guard Terrence Shannon Jr. also sat out with a hip bruise.

Bucks keep sliding

Tyler Herro led Milwaukee with 21 points. Jaime Jaquez Jr. scored 19.

Rookie Brayden Burries made his first career start. He scored nine points on 4-of-15 shooting.

The Bucks shot a season-worst 38.4%. They have lost six of their first seven games.
