ORLANDO – Dwane Casey probably could rattle off a score of reasons why the Pistons will awake on New Year’s morning with a losing record, but the one he’d probably like to change most is one he likely didn’t imagine would be an issue.
Three-point shooting.
Casey’s emphasis on producing 3-point shots has taken hold in that the Pistons are, indeed, shooting them at a franchise-record rate. At their current clip of 33.7 attempts a game, the Pistons will pass last season’s record of 2,373 attempts with 12 games to spare.
On the other hand, they’re dead last in accuracy, tied with Oklahoma City at 32.
