The Heat’s empty possessions and all of the Cavaliers’ second-chance opportunities negated another hot outside shooting performance from Miami. The Heat shot 9 of 20 on threes in Saturday’s first half and finished the loss 16 of 34 (47.1 percent) from three-point range.

The Cavs were without Darius Garland, but it didn't matter, as they simply dismantled the Heat in Game 3 to take a 3-0 series lead.
