@Dan. Is there a way to sort how many threes are taken against us and other teams?

I haven't figured out all there is to see on that site yet, but I haven't seen that. NBA.com shows us 16th in 3 point attempts taken against us, but that isn't pace adjusted (which I think would matter as it relates to your question). We actually give up the 7th best 3 point percentage. So, clearly the 28th in perimeter D is about more than 3 point shooting by our opponent.
It is funny, if you look at the opponent offensive numbers on NBA.com, we aren't bad at anything except we are second worse in the league at generating TO's (part of why we are so bad at fast break points). We don't foul too much, we rebound fairly well and opponent shooting percent isn't bad. Some of this may be scheme. We basically cover the three point line and protect the rim and give up whatever the opponent wants in between...that and our perimeter players aren't fantastic at keeping people in front of them.
