The Jazz have gone from an iffy 3-point shooting team to one of the NBA’s best. That was the plan all along.

Miami • As recently as last season, the 6-for-24 shooting effort 3-point range that the Jazz put up this past Thursday night in Atlanta wouldn’t have seemed particularly unusual.

Right now, though, such a pedestrian effort from beyond the arc can’t help but be noticed like a flashing, blaring klaxon siren.

After all, after the team went 17 of 34 from deep in Saturday’s follow-up in Charlotte, they again became the league’s most efficient deep-shooting team — converting an NBA-best 38.7% of their attempts from 3-point range through Saturday’s schedule.

“We have some good shooters — it’s that simple,” said coach Quin Snyder.
