The Miami Heat Go From Sunshine to Splash City: A Three-Point Extravaganza!
There's a reason they call Miami "South Beach," folks, because last night, the Heat brought the heat... from downtown! That's right, we're talking about a three-point barrage of epic proportions. But just how epic was it? Buckle up, basketball fans, because we're about to dive deeper than a Shaquille O'Neal free throw line extension.
How Many Threes Did Miami Make Last Night |
Raining Threes: A Record-Breaking Downpour
Did the roof leak at TD Garden? Was there a sudden malfunction in the sprinkler system? Nope, it was just the Miami Heat putting on a three-point clinic that would make Steph Curry shed a proud tear (or three). The final tally? A whopping 23 three-pointers, shattering the Miami Heat's franchise record for playoff games!
That's not a typo, folks. Twenty. Three. Threes. Someone call the Guinness Book of World Records, because this team was launching shots like they were on a mission to impress the aliens on Pluto.
The Celtics Left Feeling Like They Got Schooled... From Beyond the Arc
The Boston Celtics, known for their own sharpshooting prowess, were left looking like they forgot their shooting sleeves at home. While they put up a respectable 12 threes, Miami's 33-point advantage from downtown proved to be the difference. It was a masterclass in perimeter shooting, leaving the Celtics feeling like they just got schooled by Professor Pippen himself.

Did Someone Order a Side of Splash with Their Victory?
This win wasn't just about the threes, but let's be honest, they were the main course. Tyler Herro, channeling his inner flamethrower, drained a career-high 6 threes, leading the Miami charge. The rest of the team chipped in, with the ball whizzing through the net with the regularity of a Miami Beach breeze.
Basically, last night was a three-point party and everyone was invited (except maybe the Celtics defense).
