They are also shooting 34.8% from behind the three-point arc.

The Heat are scoring the 26th most points per game and they have the 25th-highest shooting percentage in the league. The Heat will take their time bringing the ball up the court and use the majority of the shot clock each time they are on the offensive end. If Fox is not on his team, they will look disjointed. Miami is giving up 11th least points and will contest shots at the rim and on perimeter.
