The Cleveland Cavaliers have fallen in love with the 3-point shot in the 2025-26 NBA season. The problem is there being a real question here of whether that shot loves them back.
The Cavaliers are leading the NBA in 3-point attempts per game, averaging 44.0 a night. In theory, there is evidence that a championship can be won with that kind of offensive approach. The Boston Celtics did it in 2023-24, leading the league with 42.5 attempts per game from beyond the arc.
Cleveland is just not making those opportunities count at the rate one would hope.
