The Miami Heat were unable to overcome the Dallas Mavericks' superior outside shooting when they played them in Dallas. The Miami Heat were completely incompetent from the outside in addition to not being able to halt the Dallas Mavericks' exhibition of three-point shooting. It's worth delving a little bit deeper. The Dallas Mavericks took 80 shots overall, with 38 of those coming from beyond the three-point arc, or over half of their field goal attempts. And the Dallas Mavericks would make 18 of those close to 40 tries.
The Miami Heat, on the other hand, not only took half as many shots from beyond the arc as Dallas did, but they also completely botched those efforts. The Dallas Mavericks attempted twice as many three-point shots and made half of them. The Mavericks shot 100 percent more threes and hit 50 percent of them.
