The Raptors shot a ridiculous 59.4 percent from beyond the arc (19-for-32), while the home team hit a lowly 29.3 percent of shots from deep (12-for-41). It is not entirely a make or miss league when the defense is sub-par as was the case for Washington on Wednesday. I assessed that 12 of the road team&#8217;s 19 three-pointers were benefitted by poor defense.<\/p>\n<p>With Fred VanVleet attacking the paint in transition forcing Davis Bertans to help from the weakside corner, Rui Hachimura had to leave Pascal Siakam to defend Norman Powell in the corner. Despite shooting just 27 percent from three this season, Siakam drained the slot three with Bradley Beal (smartly percentage wise) hesitant to rotate.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Film Review: Raptors torch
