Through nine games, the Spurs are 29th in the portion of their shots that come from beyond the 3-point line, with just 28.8 percent of them being 3s compared to the league rate of 37.3 percent. Conversely, they’re first in the portion that comes from between 10 feet and the 3-point line, and takes these shots nearly twice as often as the average team. Whereas Houston takes more than seven 3-pointers for every long 2, the Spurs are the league’s only team that prefers long 2s to 3s. (see chart below)
