It would be an oversimplification of the NBA and its complexities to say that the Sacramento Kings have won when they’ve shot the three well and lost when they haven’t shot it well. But for the most part, that has been the case through six games this season for Sacramento.
Last week, in the team’s comeback victory over the Phoenix Suns, the three-ball was the Kings’ best friend. Buddy Hield, Harrison Barnes, and company made 11 of 21 (52.4%) from three in the second half and were the main reason for the team erasing an early deficit and stealing a difficult road win.
