The Clippers were substantially below league average in 3-point rate before the hiatus. They ranked 23rd in the NBA with 33.2 3-point attempts per game and 19th in the percentage of their offense that came from threes.
Their relatively low number of attempts belies the fact that the Clippers shot the ball fairly well from distance during the first 64 games of the season. They ranked 10th in the league by making 36.6% of their threes.
Some might say that the Clippers’ efficiency from beyond the arc is because they are discerning in their attempts; they convert a high percentage because they take high-quality looks from 3-point range.
