NBA 2018-19: 3 Talking Points from the Cleveland Cavaliers' Win Over the Indiana Pacers

#2 Both teams shot pitifully bad from beyond the arc

Cavaliers' 3-point percentage is 13th in the league.

The Cavaliers attempted 31 three-pointers on the night but managed to make only six of them, bringing their shooting percentage down to a dismal 19.4% on the night. Following in their footsteps were their opponents who shot an equally bad 4-of-22(18.2%) from the distance.

Both teams attempted more three-pointers in this game than their season average. Even though the Pacers are fifth in three-point percentage in the league, they could not afford a bright night from beyond the arc with Oladipo, Collison, and McDermott being the only to make a shot from long range. Sadly, nobody on the Pacers could make more than a couple of 3s individually.

With the departure of star-shooter Kyle Korver, the Cavaliers have fallen into a shooting-hole of their own. Cedi shot 1-of-6 while Hood went 1-of-5 from the three-point line.
