“We’ve been discussing it from Day One of training camp,” forward Tobias Harris said. “We need to shoot more threes, more layups and more free throws.”
Early returns were positive through nine games. They ranked in the top 10 in the NBA in attempts taken within the restricted area and tops in free-throw attempts, all while taking a league-average amount of the dreaded midrange jumper.
