Today on my drive home, I caught a story on NPR that focused on the state of the NBA as it pertains to 3-point shooting. Of course, the focus was the series taking place in the Western Conference between the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets. One of these teams has to advance in the playoffs o the Western Conference Finals (unless Mark Barrington gets his way and a meteor trumps both teams), and at this point it is correct to assume that their games have been elevated by the use of the 3-point line.
