Lakers’ Luke Walton believes improved ball movement, spacing will improve 3-point shooting

ONTARIO — His past job gave Luke Walton a first-hand look at a daily clinic that featured the Golden State Warriors mastering the 3-point shot.

Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson buried them seemingly anytime and anywhere they touched the ball. The Warriors created more open looks with crisp ball movement and balanced floor spacing. And with those ingredients staying consistent, Walton spent the past two years as a Warriors assistant seeing that team lead the league in both 3-point shots made and 3-point field-goal percentage.

Walton said he has not set any expectations for the Lakers in both 3-point attempts and shots made.
