Miami made 23 three-pointers in Game 2 vs. the Celtics

On Wednesday night, the Heat had Game 2 of the Eastern Conference first-round playoffs vs. the Celtics. The Heat lost by 20 in Game 1 and you knew head coach Erik Spoelstra was going to have adjustments. Miami’s game plan last night against the Celtics was simple. Take and make high-volume of three-pointers. 

That’s exactly what the Heat did in Game 2 vs. the Celtics. Miami shot an incredible 23-43 from beyond the arc. Those 23 made three-pointers are a new franchise record for a single postseason game. More importantly, the Heat tied the series 1-1 as the next two games will be in Miami. Can the Heat keep up this incredible shooting pace and continue to make the Celtics work on defense?

Made threes were coming from everyone on the Heat in Game 2. Of the nine players that saw action last night, seven of them made at least one three-pointer. Additionally, three players made at least three triples against the Celtics in Game 2. They were Nikola Jovic, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and Haywood Highsmith. Caleb Martin knocked down five threes for the Heat and Tyler Herro added another six. It was a three-point masterclass from Miami all game long and it was a game they needed to win.

Herro’s 24 points led the Heat in Game 2 and it was one of his better shooting performances as of late. He was an efficient 6-11 from deep and has found a way to be a legitimate playmaker as well. Something were not accustomed to seeing Herro doing. Along with his 24 points in Game 2, Herro added 14 assists and five rebounds. The 24-year-old did a little bit of everything for Miami in their win that tied up the series vs. Boston.
