Did you see that Miami shot 23-for-43 from long range in their Game 2 win against Boston!? Thats 53.5%! You could tell - there were some specific strategies for generating more open looks in this second game. Here are a few things that stuck out to me - things that would be great to show your team!
Middle Third Zoom
Miami is famous for their 5-Out concepts. Bam (5) often serves as the trigger man, just like in this one. Herro (2) runs through lane then comes back to the ball in zoom action. Holiday (x2) gets caught up in the congestion, forcing Brown (x4) to give help on the drive. Herro sees chest, lands on two, then sprays it to the corner for a wide open 3PA for Jovic (4).
