“Can the Orlando Magic Break Their Curse? Three Crucial Challenges Standing Between Them and Victory Over the Celtics!”
Those 76ers had Allen Iverson. The Magic don’t.
The Celtics made 6.6 more 3s per game than the Magic did. There were only two series in NBA history in which the disparity was greater: the 2018 Houston Rockets averaged 7.3 more 3-point makes per game than the Minnesota Timberwolves and the 2006 Phoenix Suns averaged 6.7 more 3s than the Los Angeles Clippers. In both instances, the team making more 3s won the series.
Orlando signed Kentavious Caldwell-Pope in the offseason to address the team’s 3-point shooting woes, but his work beyond the arc cratered, down from 40.6% last season to 34.2% this season.
