---led the league last year at defending the 3...allowing a league lowest of 33.9% last year and leading the league again this year, allowing only 32.1% on opponent's 3s.

---I assume we can attribute this to...if the other team has 5 guys at the 3-pt line...Herb can rotate quickly enough to guard 3 of them...and Dyson can handle the other 2.

I agree that it looked awful at times, but Utah only shot 35%. But they hoisted a ton of them and ended making 17 to our 7.

I think the stat may be a tad misleading considering the amount of 3's team throw up against us.

An odd stat for sure. But at our rate of defending the 3...I wish the opponent would throw up a whole bunch more 3s...and less 2-pt shots. Maybe we're just getting lucky...who knows.

Both Utah games, they ended up hitting 6 each in the 4th quarter.
