The narrative through the first nine games of the season was the Raptors’ complete inability to hit open shots, especially from three point range. After the Raptors’ ninth game, they were ranked second-last in 3-point percentage (at 29 percent, just ahead of the Pelicans at 28.7 percent) and third-last in 3-point makes per game. This was causing some concerns over the performance of the team’s role players and shooters, especially with a tough stretch of six games on the road out of seven, against a brutal set of opponents (including the Warriors and Clippers on the second half of two back-to-backs), coming up next.
