AUBURN HILLS – It won’t be lost on any NBA team – or come as anything approaching a surprise, really – that three of the final four teams standing ranked among the top five in 3-point volume.
San Antonio, the first eliminated, was the outlier, just as the Spurs have been the NBA anomaly for their ability to remain a title contender spanning two decades. The Spurs took 23.5 3-point attempts per game this season to finish 25th in the league – one spot ahead of the Pistons, whoo attempted 23.4.
But the Spurs finished No. 1 in accuracy at 39.
