Bam Adebayo (12), Trevor Ariza (12) and Jimmy Butler (10) became just the fourth trio in team history on 5/22 to each grab double-figure rebounds in the same postseason game with the last occurence on 4/27/11 vs. PHI when Chris Bosh (11), Dwyane Wade (11) and LeBron James (10) each accomplished the feat. Miami had a different leading scorer in each of their four postseason games (Dragić, Dedmon, Butler, Adebayo). POSTSEASON TRIPLE-DOUBLE: Jimmy Butler recorded a 12-point, 10-rebound, 10-assist triple-double vs. MIL in Game 4 on 5/29, marking his third career postseason triple-double, all with the HEAT. His three triple-doubles is the second-most in team history as LeBron James is the only other player to do so with five. Additionally, Butler dished out six assists in the first quarter, tying the franchise playoff record for assists in a quarter. TYLER FROM DEEP: Tyler Herro has connected on a three-point field goal in each of his 25 career postseason games. The 25-game streak of hitting a trey to start a playoff career is the third-longest in NBA history. Below are the longest such streaks.

He has now shot 60 percent (6-of-10) on clutch baskets in his postseason career, which is defined as a potential game-tying or go-ahead field goal in the final minute of a game. His 60 percent clutch field goal percentage is the highest in the NBA over the last 25 years (min 10 attempts) since play-by-plays were kept as a stat. Second on the list is former HEAT player Ray Allen at 52.4 percent (11-of-21). FROM DOWNTOWN: The HEAT connected on 20 three-point field goals in Game 1 at MIL on 5/22, the most for a single postseason game in franchise history, surpassing the previous record of 18 which was set twice. Additionally, Duncan Robinson hit seven from downtown, tying the most by a HEAT player for a single playoff game in team history. Below are both the most made treys by the team and player in postseason history.
