Just ‘average’ Miami Heat range shooting could take them a long way

The Miami Heat certainly have things to clean up as they head into their Friday evening matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Losing their last matchup on Wednesday, the first part of a back-to-back set of games between the two, the Miami Heat would turn the ball over 24 times en route to allowing almost 30 Cleveland Cavaliers points off those turnovers.

And though they have been shooting the ball well over the past two games, overall and from range, they would only continue to shoot the ball well overall on Wednesday, shooting only 27 percent from three—but that’s just it.

When it comes to this Miami Heat team and the way that they are built, the way they have gone about it all season, and what their strengths are— if they can just get average shooting from range across the remainder of the season and as the postseason begins, they’ll be a threat to anybody that they may face.
