Early numbers suggest the Miami Heat should quicken the pace on offense

Team after team have stopped the Heat's offense by double-teaming the ball-handler who runs the half-court set.

Whether it is Dwyane Wade or Goran Dragic, other teams double-up on either one, forcing them into outlet passes that waste time on the 24-second clock. The Heat wind up passing the ball to each until someone throws up an ill-advised shoot or passing into a slew of defenders leading to a turnover.

NBA statistics on Miami tell an interesting story about their field goal percentages as the shot clock winds down.

The Miami Heat shoot at an astonishing 63% clip on fast-break points and over 55% with less than 7 seconds left on the shot clock.
