Three-pointers are no longer the key to victory or defeat? This season, four teams have been eliminated, and the Timberwolves become the only one in the top five

On May 28, the NBA division finals were in full swing, and US media ClutchPoints posted a post talking about the three-pointer topic in this year's playoffs.

is a three-pointer in success and a three-pointer in failure. In the playoffs, most teams that rely on three-pointers have fallen aside. How are the four teams with the largest number of three-point shots in the league this season? All are watching the playoffs at home. What about the team that is still fighting? It is the Pacers ranked 21st in three-point shooting and the Knicks ranked 27th in three-point shooting.

In fact, the Timberwolves are the only team that is still on the playoff stage and ranks in the top five in three-point shooting this season. The following are the specific data:

Celtics: 48.2 three-point shooting per game (second round out)

Warriors: 42.4 three-point shooting per game (second round out)

Bulls: 42.0 three-point shooting per game (no playoff)

Cavaliers: 41.5 three-point shooting per game (second round out)

Timberwolves: 39.9 three-point shooting per game

Thunder ranked 10th in the regular season three-point shooting, but their top three-point shooter Alexander averaged only 2.1 three-point shooting per game, ranking 67th in the league. It is worth noting that no player in the Thunder, Pacers and Knicks made three-pointers in the league this season.

Pacers and Knicks proved with their performance that winning in the playoffs may not depend on three-pointers. Both teams' regular season three-point shots are in the bottom third of the league, and this style continues in the playoffs to this day. The Timberwolves and the Thunder no longer rely too much on three-pointers in the playoffs. The ranking of three-pointers has slipped to the middle of the league. Is the three-pointer really going to withdraw from the stage of history?
