Copied this from the "Around the NBA" thread: Watched the Jazz-Clippers game last night. Jazz are taking the 3-point heavy approach to another level.
Jazz lead the league in 3PA by a big margin. Ranked last in midrange attempts. 28th in attempts at the rim. Low assist numbers. 28th in ast% on 2s and 3s. 29th overall. Only Portland is worse. Mavs are 27th in both categories.
No ball movement. One screen. Semi open 3. Let it fly. Bigs crash the offensive glass (5th in total off rebounds, 3th in ORR). Bigs aren´t getting any touches.
In the game against the Clippers they attempted 50 3s. Only shot 34% from 3. Still won the game. At one point in the first quarter they did not score for 8 1/2 minutes. Missed 20 consecutive shots.
Different approach but I cannot argue with the results. Will be interesting to see if they can keep it up. A good defense and great rebounding certainly helps them when the 3 isn´t falling.
Edit: Just did some research. 50 3s in one playoff games ranks 8th all time.
