Lucas: When Shots Aren't Falling

Posted Dec 29, 2008
Carolina's two designated sharpshooters, Wayne Ellington and Will Graves, combined to shoot a meager 4-for-13 from the field on Sunday against Rutgers. They combined to make just one three-pointer. And yet, somehow, both players have found a way to make other contributions during Carolina's season-opening 12-game winning streak, a stretch that for the first time in history has included nothing but double-digit victories.
