Fultz is playing well, but once again everything is a difficult drive into a difficult shot inside the arc.

Being out volume-d from 3PT 26 to 16 so far. Math as always not in their favor.

I know people are sick of me saying this, but it is just so unbelievably hard to win if as a team you don't make threes and you don't make threes if you don't attempt threes.

Don’t know which game JJ is talking about but he mentioned Joe Mazzulla saying that the Celtics got ‘out-mathed’ after losing recently when losing the 3-point battle.

I mean no disrespect, but the only stat that really matters is the fact that the Suns have made 12 threes and the Magic have made 5.

It's so remarkably difficult to win when you're -21 in points from the 3PT line.
