NBA playoffs: Heat sets franchise playoff record for 3-pointers during series-evening win over Celtics

Powered by a franchise playoff record 23 3-pointers, the Miami Heat tied their first-round Easter Conference series with the Boston Celtics Wednesday night with a 111-101 victory.

Following a tight first half, the Heat used the 3rd quarter where they outscored the Celtics 27-18 to retake the lead — a lead they would not surrender to even the series at 1-1.

Game 3 is Saturday night at 6 p.m. ET in Miami.

Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said on Wednesday that they would make a concerted effort to lower the Celtics' 3-point attempts and increase theirs for Game 2.
