I can easily see the teams offensive play selections, playing rotations and minute distribution lending itself to a higher live by the 3 die by the 3 factor.
Then there is even roster construction which itself is in part based on the way a teams intends to play basketball.
To be fair this also says something about the team's defensive system since the stat is not about simply shooting a high 3 point % but also defending well enough so that the opponent shoots a lower % than you do.
What is the teams dependency factor on winning the 3 point battle? It might be informative to consider the Eastern conference as well and what it suggests about the better and lesser teams.
It's an interesting statistic to consider in the age of pace and space with the higher than ever 3 point shooting numbers across the entire league.
