He did miss one shot during that stretch (tsk, tsk), so in that 6:03 span, he scored 20 points on 6-of-7 shooting (5-of-5 from 3PT) and almost single-handedly took the Heat from a seven-point deficit to an 11-point lead. Mike Breen called it one of the greatest playoff performances he’s ever seen.
Wade’s run of five-straight threes is especially impressive considering he is just a 29% career shooter from behind the arc.
If that wasn’t enough, a few minutes before Wade’s 20-point run, he posterized Kevin Garnett:
Even with the win, the Heat trail in the series, 3-1, and head back to Boston for Game 5 on Tuesday.
