Over the three games that Victor Oladipo has sat out with knee soreness, the Pacers have been outscored by 14.5 points per 100 possessions while shooting a woeful 34.2 percent on shots taken from between the paint and the three-point line (otherwise known as the zone in which they’ve scored a league-leading 18.2 percent of their points this season).
Adding insult to literal injury is the poor quality of the shots they are generating from mid-range along with the myriad of shortcuts they are taking to get them.
