The Cavs shots so well on 3's against the Clippers two nights earlier than I can understand why they came out firing 3's and put up 13 of them in the first quarter, which equates to 52 for a whole game. The Heat rank 26th in opponents' 3-point percentage so it made sense to shoot 3's against them at home.Yeah, I have an issue with Mitchell going 3 for 13 from range when so many of those shots are coming so early in the shot clock and early on in the game.
That Mobley corner three play needs to be shelved for eternity. Not only is it a wasted possession, it's almost always a bucket going the other way.
But once it was obvious that NOBODY on the Cavs was shooting well they should have changed their approach and attacked the rim against an undersized team. I get the Miami played a lot of zone which kind of forces you to shoot from outside, so give them credit. They saw the Cavs were bricking open 3's so they went to a zone and it paid off.
We can't beat quality teams when both Garland and Mitchell are missing 3's but keep shooting them anyway. And Cedi, Wade, and LeVert gave them no help.
