Not unlike in recent seasons under a different head coach, Zalgiris Kaunas came into Tuesday night's home game against TD Systems Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz with an unusual paradox: it ranked second in three-point accuracy at 40.9% and yet launched fewer of those shots than all but one other Turkish Airlines EuroLeague team through 13 games.
This was not new, either. In the last full EuroLeague season, 2018-19, Zalgiris ranked sixth in three-point accuracy, at 38.1%, but dead last in attempts, just 16.6 per game. The season before that, 2017-18, it was first in making threes, at 42.1%, and last at trying them, with just 16.5 attempts.
