Why the Spurs’ three-point shooters aren’t shooting threes

The Spurs appear to have all but abandoned the three pointer. No team has taken fewer threes than they have so far this postseason. That they are last isn’t much of a surprise; they were last in the league in three point attempts in the regular season, too. But not by this much.

Through 82 games, the Spurs’ took threes on 26.6% of their shots, less than a percent behind several other teams. Through 4 games of their first round playoff series against the Nuggets, threes have only accounted for 18.
