There are only five teams in the league hoisting more three-point shots than the Miami Heat has averaged through its first 13 games this season.
The Heat, which shattered its previous franchise record for three-point attempts (27.0 per game) and makes (9.9) last season, is on a record pace to break both those marks again this season, averaging 31.3 attempts and 11.0 makes per game.
To say the Heat has become a team that lives and dies by the three isn’t a stretch anymore. Entering Wednesday’s game against the Wizards, Miami was 6-2 when it makes double-digit threes and 0-5 when it doesn’t.
