Nightmarish three-point shooting sink Raptors on road, Miami on tap Saturday night.
ATLANTA—The need for consistent effort and hard work is of the utmost importance for the Raptors, because they have such a slim margin for error with Kyle Lowry recuperating from surgery.
They have done that and then some — morphing into one of the best defensive teams in the NBA over the last fortnight by some advanced metrics — but for all the grit and intensity and teamwork they show, there is still a crying need for consistent shooting if they are going to win.
