0:55.9

Against the Hornets, it was just this huge issue. Everybody knows it. They don't have enough guys that take threes. They don't have enough guys that make threes. They don't take enough as a team. It doesn't matter. And so I wanted to deep dive into, all right, well, how do the best teams in the NBA take threes? Who takes threes on the teams? What kind of threes are they taking? And how close are the Mavericks to fixing this issue and becoming a really good three-point shooting team?

1:50.4

Toronto only has three.

1:52.2

Houston, Minnesota, Cleveland only have four.

1:55.6
