Two NBA matchups, two different questions about where the next good shot comes from. Chicago got to the foul line often against Toronto but kept giving away possessions; Milwaukee's outside shooting against Washington did not keep the Wizards off the line. In Orlando–Minnesota, the recent box scores make me watch the boards as closely as the arc, because Minnesota paired its outside scoring with a big rebounding edge.
In their provisional league openers, the Bulls attempted 47 free throws and committed 27 turnovers in Toronto, while the Bucks made 15 threes and saw Washington attempt 41 free throws. Orlando made 13 threes against Atlanta but lost the rebound count 39–42; Minnesota made 21 threes at Miami and won the boards 52–34. Different opponents and one league game apiece make these questions to watch, not settled team identities.
