Thanks - I was getting lost. And even though I haven't watched any spectator sports for decades, I still know some of the corresponding language from back home. So, translated back and forth, "bury a jumper from the three-point land" comes back as just "zakucati trojku" - nail a three. The verb "zakucati" actually means "to hammer in", but is applied to nails only.
