We won the 3-point game by 21 points.  We lost the rest of the game by 10 points.

That's not exactly fair, considering that we shot 7 more three pointers than they did and they shot 5 more two point shots than we did.  So, unless their three point shooting percentage was much better, of course we are going to score more from 3; conversely, unless our two point shooting percentage was much better than theirs (it wasn't), it would be hard to score more while taking fewer shots.

That being said, we scored 39 points on 25 three pointers (1.56 points per shot) compared to 18 points on 18 three pointers for OKSt (1 point per shot).  Conversely, we scored 34 points on 33 two-point shots (including free throws, since I don't think we were fouled shooting threes) for 1.03 points per shot; they scored 44 points on 38 two-point shots (1.16 points per shot).

So yeah, your point still stands; we were much more efficient from 3, while they were more efficient from within the arc.
