The Nets are confident that the shots will start falling eventually, but to this point, the 3-point shooting hasn’t quite been there.
, in which Brooklyn shot 7-for-27 from beyond the arc, gave a reminder that their shooters are underperforming, too — Kevin Durant and Joe Harris were the only players to hit more than one 3-pointer.
Durant, a career 38.3 percent 3-point shooter, is hitting just 35.8 percent of his shots. Harris, upon returning from ankle injuries that required surgery last season, has experienced a drastic drop-off, shooting a career-low 34.5 percent. The last time he was below 40 percent was 2016-17. Curry has shot well, but played just five games. Irving, prior to his suspension, was taking over nine 3s per game and hitting just 28 percent of them.
“We need a few of those to go in,” head coach Jacque Vaughn admitted following Sunday’s game. “I think we were 2-for-16 at halftime with some really good looks. It’s amazing how that could have changed the tempo and direction of the game.” Harris, asked about the shooting woes after the game, pointed to the Nets’ defense as an underlying issue.
