There have only been three instances in which the Brooklyn Nets have shot worse than 40% from the floor as a team in a game. To no one’s surprise, the Nets have lost in each of those games, the most recent instance being Saturday’s 110-102 loss to the Toronto Raptors, in which Brooklyn logged a 38.6 field goal percentage.
The other two instances were the 101-93 loss to the Denver Nuggets (37.9%) on November 14 — Kyrie Irving’s last game before his stretch on the sideline due to a right shoulder impingement — and Brooklyn’s 115-86 loss to the Indiana Pacers (35.7%) on November 18.
Additionally, Saturday marked the eighth time the Nets shot worse than 30% from three. Brooklyn has now gone 3-5 in such games. Against the Raptors, the Nets only made 26.1% of their 3-point attempts.
Taurean Prince (4-for-9) and David Nwaba (2-for-4) did well from long-range and Spencer Dinwiddie (2-for-6) was OK.
The biggest issues from deep were Joe Harris (1-for-6) and Garrett Temple 2-for-14). Aside from those two, the rest of the Nets shot 34.6% (9-for-26) from three.
