Patrick Beverley finds his groove behind the arc — and with the ball in his hands — since joining the Chicago Bulls

Published Sat, 28 Dec 2024 00:42:06 GMT

Patrick Beverley tries not to take it personally when he’s left wide open behind the 3-point arc.But games like Saturday’s 113-99 win over the Miami Heat make it hard. Every time the ball swung to Beverley, the defense sagged inside the arc, giving the Chicago Bulls point guard a wide swath of space to line up and fire off his shot.He missed the first few chances but finally made the Heat pay in the second quarter with four consecutive 3s as the Bulls built a 27-point lead.After the Bulls held off the Heat for a second straight win, Beverley hoped his five 3-pointers on the night served as a reminder that he should command a close-out.“I’m 38% career from the 3 over a decade,” Beverley said. “So no matter how well I shoot it, I think it’s the look of me that people want to leave me open. But I want to keep letting them do it.”Beverley’s self-assessment is accurate: He’s shooting at a 37.5% clip behind the arc for his career...

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.

He is in the field next week in Rancho Mirage, California, where he gets another shot at the record.“It...
