The Golden State Warriors have managed a four-game win streak to bounce back from a horrid month of November thanks to their regained prowess at the 3-point line. The Warriors seemed to have regressed and fallen in love with the mid-range shot while the rest of the NBA leaned toward more attempts beyond the arc, yet neither Kevin Durant nor Stephen Curry point to their recent long-distance barrage as a desire to match the rest of the league.

“It’s hard to tell where the game is going,” said Warriors coach Steve Kerr, according to Mark Medina of the San Jose Mercury News. “It does seem like maybe we’re going a little overboard with the 3s.”

Ask Durant about this, and his response was a lot more straightforward than Kerr's.

“It just happens that way. We’re not writing on the board that we have to get over 40 3s,” said Durant. “That just happens. That’s usually how basketball happens. It’s organic.”

In their last four games, the Warriors have made 13, 18, 19 and 19 3-pointers, respectively, shooting it at a devastating 46.9 percent clip, a mark that has proven key in their success upon Curry's return to the court. The Dubs attempted 89 total shots from long distance in their last two games — a number that is usually seen by the 3-hoisting Houston Rockets.

Curry, who is shooting 50 percent from deep for the season, noted it isn't about the quantity of attempts, but rather the quality of looks his team has been getting lately.

“It’s the type of 3s you get. The last few games have been really good ones for the most part in terms of moving the basketball and finding the open guy,” Curry said. “Shooting 44 percent on them is the key. You can put up 43 bad ones and it doesn’t really do anything for you. That’s what we’re proud of the most.”

In the recent win streak, the Warriors have bounced from being a middle-of-the-pack 3-point shooting team in terms of makes right into the top five, making 12.1 per game and leading the league in efficiency, hitting at a crisp 39.4 percent for the season.
