[The Athletic] Celtics will need to solve 3-point math problem in Game 3

All this talk, when watch the Heat suck from 3 and it’s like it never happened. That’s how these things work. Up and down.
First we shot too many 3s and now we need to solve the 3 point problem.
It was one game. They got hot from 3, statistically they aren’t going to keep that up for an entire series and they still needed Porzingis to have his worst game as a Celtic in order to win.
I’m not worried about beating the Heat in this series and I’m not really afraid of other teams replicating the strategy.
They’re playing with house money because they’re the 8 seed. Anyone trying to win a championship isn’t going to shoot more 3s than they’re likely to hit on, because the variance as has been a major criticism of the Celtics is way too high for teams to stomach.
The more teams shoot 3s against us, the more likely they are to lose and by large margins.
