During the game, he hit a game-saving shot, pulling up from way beyond the three-point line to tie the game, sending the game into a second overtime period.
The shot itself was clutch, but it also set a new personal best for Wemby in one stat category.

It was practically a logo-type shot, and it was something Wemby had never done before.
According to NBA analyst Kirk Goldsberry, this was the longest shot he had made in his entire NBA career.
Believe it or not, that three-pointer was the only one he had in his 41 points on Monday, with just two total attempts from beyond the arc in his 49 minutes of gametime.
