One of the top ten shooting teams in the league, Miami Heat were firing from the three-point line last night. After a not-so-impressive shooting night against the Bucks, the Heat got their act together and torched the Magic from distance.

While Josh Richardson struggled from the three-point line and only shot 2-for-8, Justise Winslow and Tyler Johnson combined for 9-for-13 from behind the arc and torched the Magic.

The Magic defenders did a poor defending as they gave a lot of open looks to the Heat's sharpshooters who knocked them down with ease.

The entire Heat roster combined for 16-for-31 shooting from downtown and shot at 51.6 % from distance. To the contrary, the Orlando Magic only shot 10-for-28 (35.7%) from the three-point line. In particular, their bench only connected on 4 three-pointers after 11 attempts.
