Raptors dig deep in NBA where no lead is safe
It is the great equalizer in the NBA these days, giving any team a legitimate chance to win any game they play.
It makes no lead safe for the team holding it or the team trying to close out a game, and 20-point leads can evaporate in minutes under the right circumstances.
Stephen Curry and the Warriors hit 10 three-pointers in a record 51-point first quarter against Jamal Murray’s Nuggets in Denver on Tuesday. The importance of success from beyond the arc has never been more stark in the NBA.The three-point shot has been revolutionizing the sport for years, but at this point in time it’s taking over game after game after game.
