UNC in the NBA: Wayne Ellington leads Miami to overtime victory

Wayne Ellington is at it again.

For the fifth time in the last 23 games, the Miami Heat shooting guard scored 20 or more points in a game off the bench. It’s the 13th time during that span that he’s notched double-digits in the scoring column, increasing his scoring average from 8.2 points per game to 10.2 since the month of November.

Ellington has knocked down 61 three-pointers over his last 17 games, better than 3.5 per game. His 104 made three-pointers this season are sixth-place in the league and one more than two-time MVP Stephen Curry, despite having five fewer three-point attempts.
