Five takeaways from the Miami Heat’s 116-109 overtime win over the Toronto Raptors in its regular-season finale at home on Wednesday night that secured the No. 6 seed in the Eastern Conference and a first-round series against the Philadelphia 76ers.
1. Making history in a meaningful way: From the moment it was first mentioned to him, Wayne Ellington said if he was fortunate enough to set the Heat’s new single-season record for three-pointers, he wanted it to mean something for the team.
Mission accomplished for Ellington on Wednesday night on both fronts.
Ellington needed seven threes to eclipse the mark of 225 three-pointers Damon Jones made during the 2004-05 season.
