Posted Apr 3, 2018
In his last 15 games, Harrison Barnes is averaging 21.7 points on 45.0 percent shooting, a sizzling 43.8 percent from beyond the arc, and 83.6 percent on 4.9 free throw attempts per game. He’s adding 2.8 assists, which is nearly a full assist higher than his season average and nearly double from last season. The secret? The fact that three is greater than two. (Dallas Mavericks)
