Is there any stopping Patty Mills?

It's a fair question to ask after the Naghiralgal Dauareb-Meriam Kokatha man produced his latest stellar outing with new NBA team the Brooklyn Nets. 

Mills displayed another shooting masterclass, sinking a career-high nine three-pointers in the Nets NBA win over Australian Josh Giddey's Oklahoma City.

While Nets superstar Kevin Durant led all scorers with 33 points, Mills again provided the spark off the bench with 29 points in a 120-96 road win.

Boomers guard Mills was virtually unstoppable from beyond the arc - making nine-of-12 attempts - as he set a franchise record for three-pointers off the bench.

Mills produced his best scoring performance for Brooklyn since joining them after a decade with San Antonio but Giddey struggled to impact the game, with the Thunder second best for most of the night.

Mills has justified the high price paid by the Nets for his acquisition, grabbing headlines for his record-breaking statistics in almost every game played this season.
