Washington Wizards head coach Scott Brooks ambled into the pre-game press briefing focused on Tuesday night’s Game 2 matchup, but firmly aware that the Raptors had done the most damage from three-point range during Saturday’s season opener.
Asked about containing the Raptors’ revamped long-range attack, Brooks didn’t even need to glance at a stat sheet while rhyming off the relevant numbers.
Serge Ibaka hit three treys, as did backup guard Delon Wright. Key reserve C.J. Miles totaled 12 points, all from three-point range, and formed part of a Raptors attack that stayed on Brooks’ mind entering the second game of their Eastern Conference quarterfinal.
