Nikolic makes history with 11 hits in 11 shots for Varese

Openjobmetis Varese beat BC Roma 110-103 in a game that went to overtime. The game's standout was Stefan Nikolic. He made all 11 of his field goal attempts. Seven of them were two-pointers and four were three-pointers. Nikolic ended the game with 28 points, 6 rebounds and 35 evaluation points. His only miss came at the free throw line, where he made 2 of 3 attempts.

Since the 1987-88 season, only 11 times has a Serie A player made at least 11 field goal attempts without a miss. At the top of that list are Darryl Dawkins and DaShaun Wood, who each made all 13 of their shots. Nikolic is the 11th player to join this list.

In Varese's history, Nikolic posted the club's best performance in this category. The previous best by a club player was Tyler Cain's result in 2017 against Capo d'Orlando, when he made all 10 of his shots. Nikolic has now pushed that mark one step further.
