It's a make or miss league as the cliché goes, and that's especially true when you're making or missing from behind the 3-point line.
A team that hits 45 percent of 38 3-point attempts is likely to win. A team that hits 29 percent of 34 3-point attempts is likely to lose. The only way to overcome the obstacle of inferior shooting is to limit turnovers and get up more shots, neither of which the Pacers did in their 115-106 loss to Toronto at Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Friday.
You can take apart the game and analyze every moving part, but like most games it came down to shooting accuracy.
