On Thursday night, the 33-year-old point guard also made EuroLeague history when he extended his overall free-throw shooting streak to 70 and thus became the EuroLeague player with the most consecutive free throws made in the history of the competition.
In doing so, DiBartolomeo took down Kevin Punter, who had converted 69 consecutive free throws (the streak is inactive).
The last time DiBartolomeo misfired from the charity stripe in EuroLeague action was on December 2, 2022, in Maccabi's game against Bayern Munich. Overall, he's made 168 of his 192 attempts from the line, which translates to 92.3% for his career.
