The Miami Heat’s best perimeter defenders don’t meet the eye test: do numbers lie?

This season’s increased pace seems to have affected the Miami Heat defense more on guarding 3-point shooting then the 2-point variety.

They rank 8th best in DFG% (48.9%) in 2-pointers, and only a below-average 19th (37.1%) in 3-point defense.

How do each of the players on the Heat (more than one game) perform guarding the perimeter shooters?
