LOS ANGELES – Last season, the Timberwolves led the league in three-point attempts with 41.3 per game. That came to the dismay of some fans who wished the Wolves wouldn't be so reliant on the deep ball, especially on nights it wasn't falling.
But that volume of three-point shooting propelled the Wolves to the No. 1 most efficient offense from January until the end of the season.
This season, the Wolves are 16th and have taken 33 per game. Over the last six games with Karl-Anthony Towns out of the lineup, that number is down to 29.
