The Indiana Pacers are one of the top five shooting teams in the league right now, in terms of three-point shooting percentage, and despite losing in this game, they did not disappoint.

They attempted 20 three-pointers against the Raptors and made nine of them, bringing their conversion rate to a decent 45% for the game. Bogdanovic shot 3-of-6 while the rest of the team

The Raptors could only manage an anemic 7-of-30 from three, good for 23 percent on the night. Lethal shooters in Kawhi & Danny Green could also combine to drop only 1-of-9 from deep. If it wasn't for Van Vleet's(3-6) final three in the last minute of the game, it would have been a fairly subpar night for Toronto from beyond the arc underlined by a probable loss.
