While the Miami Heat are one of the top 10 teams in three-point shooting this season, the Washington Wizards are one of the worst teams in the league in three-point shooting. In the offseason, the Heat re-signed veteran sharpshooter Wayne Ellington for one more year, but the 31-year-old has missed most of the game this year due to injuries.

In Miami, both the teams struggled shooting from behind the arc which is very evident from the statistics. While Heat shot 9-for-29 (31%) from the three-point line, the Wizards only combined for 10-for-36 (27.8%) from long range.

In particular, the Wizards' bench combined for 1-for-9 with Otta Porter Jr. (0-for-5) and Chasson Randle (1-for-4). Trevor Ariza and Bradley Beal were the only players who could get it going as they went 9-for-23 from downtown. For the Heat, Dwyane Wade and Tyler Johnson combined for 0-for-6 and Josh Richardson went 2-for-8 from distance.
