In his effort to emphasize or maybe even exaggerate how much confidence he has in the three-point shooting abilities of Wayne Ellington, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra has said on occassion he would love to see the 30-year-old veteran put up 20 three pointers in a game.
Ellington came close Wednesday, launching a franchise-record 17 three-point attempts in an overtime loss to the Kings. The Heat as a team set a franchise mark with 43 three-point attempts in the game. But just because he made a little history on a team setting franchise records for three-pointers taken doesn’t mean Ellington necessarily felt good about it.
