This game was a shooting clinic on the front of the Toronto Raptors. They shot lights out and there was no chance the Pacers could do anything about it, even though they're the best defensive team in the league.

They shot at a mind boggling 51.5% from the 3-point line, making 17 of their 33 total 3-pointers taken.

On the other hand, the Pacers were a stark contrast of this and shot very poorly from the 3. Their percentage was only 23.5% as they made only 4 of their total 17 3-pointers.

Almost everyone came in and instantly started contributing from the 3 for the Raptors. They were very quick to find an open man throughout the game and this paid them huge dividends as they got a statement victory against the Pacers who are also in sublime form lately.
