For the first time all season, the Cleveland Cavaliers have lost three games in a row and there are questions about what has gone wrong.
Several factors have fed into their current losing streak and one of the biggest is their three-point shooting.
According to Jason Timpf, the Cavs started this season attempting 13 pull-up three-pointers per game and hit 39.0 percent of them.
During their 3-5 stretch of games, they are attempting 14 per game and sinking only 32.7 percent of them.
Can the Cavaliers get their shot back and will that put them back on track?

When the season began, it felt like the Cavaliers sank every single shot they took.
They were nearly unstoppable from all over the court, including beyond the arc.
Many fans thought their shooting productivity would dip but the team continued to perform well.
It’s only now, months later, that they are having problems with their shooting.
These last three games have been very tough for the Cavaliers and they are hoping to get it together for their next match against the Detroit Pistons on Monday night.
Fans are already worried but a four-game losing streak will make them absolutely panicked.
Their pull-up threes have become problematic but other issues are hurting the Cavaliers too.
They will need to address all of them as soon as possible.
The good news is that the team is healthy, young, and driven.
Plus, they have one of the most respected coaches in the league, Kenny Atkinson.
Fans should still believe in this team and feel confident in their ability to fix their problems and start winning a lot again.
