Keys to the Game:

•Win the 3-point Battle

The Heat love to shoot the three ball. They rank 7th in the NBA in three pointers made and 8th in attempted. Opposing teams are ranked 4th in threes made and 3rd in threes attempted against the Heat.

•Get the Big Guys Going

This is a game that should be heavily dominated by the bigs. Get the ball to Willie, Skal and Zbo early and often.
