The Dallas Mavericks snapped their three-game losing streak on Sunday when they defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 138-133. A key part of their success and turnaround was their 3-point shooting. Before Sunday's game, the Mavs were struggling to shoot the ball from long distance, as they rank at the bottom of the league in terms of 3-point percentage (29th in the NBA, 31.1 percent from 3-point range). However, Klay Thompson helped the team change that narrative in a much-needed win on Sunday and in many of his recent performances.
Yet, one possible alternative to his struggles that seems to be working could be his new role off the bench.
