Raptors’ long-range forecast less cloudy with a chance of three-balls

The Star | March 21, 2019

Through all the nights of bad three-point shooting — those 7-for-32 games, the 6-for-30 outings, misfires coming from every player in every conceivable role — the thought around the Raptors was that eventually things would turn around.

They have.

From his office near the free-throw line, Raptor Marc Gasol — guarded by Jordan Clarkson and the Cavaliers recently — often makes the pass that sets up a successful three-pointer.

Once thought to be one of the team’s glaring weaknesses, the ability to make three-point shots is now one of its strengths as the final 10 games of the NBA regular season count down.
