NBA Finals: Heat's 3-point shooting — especially by undrafted players — is buoying postseason run

Two minutes into the fourth quarter of Game 2 of the NBA Finals, Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent set a pindown screen for teammate Duncan Robinson, and both defenders — Denver Nuggets reserves Christian Braun and Bruce Brown — followed Robinson, once and now one of the deadliest shooters in the game.

That left Vincent wide open for a 3-pointer that gave the Heat their first lead since the start of the second quarter, part of a 17-4 run to open the fourth with Miami star Jimmy Butler on the bench.
