Will Graves looks to shoot his way out of slump

Posted Jan 21, 2009
Mired in a season-long shooting slump, Will Graves is using Ray Allen as an inspiration. The Boston Celtics guard didn't do much for two rounds of last season's NBA playoffs before exploding in the final two, averaging 20.3 points in the finals while making 52.3 percent of his 3-pointers as the Celtics put away the Los Angeles Lakers to win the NBA title. "Mine's been longer than I think his was," Graves said with a laugh. (Durham Herald-Sun)
