Three observations from the Miami Heat\u2019s 119-110 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Sunday night that wrapped up a 2-4 trip.<\/p>\n

After Friday\u2019s win in Indiana, I wrote about the side pick-and-roll that helped get Bam Adebayo going en route to a 30-point night. The Heat went back to it on Sunday but, as expected, the Pacers were better prepared after having just seen it 48 hours prior.<\/p>\n

Indiana keyed in on Adebayo, dropping its center to take away the pass on the short roll. But doing that created an opening for Robinson to let it fly.<\/p>\n

Running this off to the side creates as much space for Robinson and Adebayo as possible, essentially turning a 5 on 5 game into a game of 2 on 2. The chemistry between Duncan and Bam is well established and, while this isn\u2019t a new wrinkle, it\u2019s new that the Heat spammed it as much as they did over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Tyler Herro, elite 3-point shooter<\/h2>\n

Tyler Herro has been the best 3-point shooter in the league this season.<\/p>\n

Six of Herro’s 3-pointers last night came from above the break. He’s been nails from there this season, canning 46.2% of his shots, easily the best mark of any high-volume shooter.<\/p>\n

(He’s also shooting 60% from the corners).<\/p>\n
