The Lakers have connected on 48.4% of their 3-pointers in their last two games after starting the season as one of the league’s worst 3-point shooting teams.

How they got here: Toronto advanced as the No. 2 seed with a 4-0 record in NBA Cup play, but it had clinched its spot a week ago with a win over Washington. New York secured its spot by beating Giannis Antetokounmpo and Milwaukee on Friday and clinching Group B, thanks to some big Duece McBride 3-pointers helping the team pull away in the fourth.

This week's Cup schedule is loaded with playoff rematches and style clashes, featuring the defending champs and the current leading scorer.
