Edgecombe’s first NBA point was scored on a made free throw, about 100 seconds into the game. He was far from finished in the opening 12 minutes.

He played all but 44 seconds of the first quarter, scoring a game-high 14 points on 5-of-9 shooting (3-of-6 from 3 point range). It also earned him a place in the NBA record books. No one in league history had scored more points in the first quarter of an NBA debut.
