Allen made 22 three-pointers in the 2008 NBA Finals to help the Boston Celtics beat the Los Angeles Lakers in six games.
Allen, now a member of the Miami Heat, could only watch as Green broke his record with a trifecta in the third quarter.
Green ended up making six of his 10 three-point field goals in Game 5, including a dagger triple with over a minute to go that gave the Spurs a 114-101 lead.
The Spurs went on to win Game 5, 114-104, and take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven Finals. They have a chance to close out the series in Game 6 in Miami on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila).
"Danny Green has been playing great. He's making shots," said Spurs guard Tony Parker after the game. "I can't believe he's still open at this moment of the series."
Green has shot the ball at a tremendous rate during the first five games of the Finals, according to statistics compiled by both ESPN.
ESPN Stats & Info said on Twitter that Green "is 18-of-24 on open 3s, and 7-of-14 on contested 3s," for a stunning 65.8% three-point field goal percentage.
When Allen set the previous record in 2008, he made 52% of his three-pointers.
Green finished with 24 points in Game 5 and has been averaging 18 points per game against Miami in the Finals, averaged only 10.5 points per game during the regular season.
