Three-Point Line hurt Washington

Although the Wizards didn’t have much rim protection with both their centers in foul trouble, they also had a problem defending the three-point line.

The Raptors made 16 threes setting a franchise record.

With both Serge Ibaka and C.J. Miles shooting lights out from 3-point range.

Ibaka had 23 points and 12 rebounds in 33 minutes. He was 3-for-4 from downtown.

While Miles, off the bench, would open up the second quarter, knocking down a shot that was miles away from the basket.

He could not be contained with four 3-pointers. Miles finished the game with 12 points.

Toronto attempted 30 three-pointers, most of them wide open. While Washington only made 8-of-21 from downtown.
