CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Dwyane Wade hadn’t made a 3-point shot since December, enduring a streak of 22 consecutive misses.
That all changed on Friday night with Miami’s season on the line.
The 34-year-old star hit both 3-pointers he attempted, including a big one with 46 seconds left, finishing with 23 points as the Heat beat the Charlotte Hornets 97-90 to force a decisive game in the first-round series.
“If we were going to lose, I was going to go out shooting it tonight,” Wade said.
Wade scored 10 points in the fourth quarter, including two 3s.
