Though Dwyane Wade was struggling throughout the entirety of Game 3, he still found a way to help his teammates out.

As seen in the clip below posted by NBA on TNT, Wade was hyped after Goran Dragic flexed right in front of Philadelphia 76ers' Marco Belinelli after converting a tough and-1 lay-up.

It was one of the few great moments in the game for the Miami Heat. Though they broke a playoff franchise record by draining 16 three-pointers, the Heat went cold come the fourth quarter. In the final 12 minutes, they were outscored 32-14. The final score was 128-108.

The basket that Dragic made above was his last points for the game. He didn't score a single point in the fourth quarter. Wade, for his part, chipped in eight points on 2-of-10 shooting, and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line.

The Heat are now down 2-1 in the series. The series will stay in Miami on Saturday where they intend to tie the series at two games apiece before going back to Philadelphia. The Sixers, meanwhile, are looking for a commanding 3-1 lead.

Prior to Game 3, the Heat made it clear that they need to win the rebounding category, and the second chance points, to have a fighting chance.

In Game 1, the Sixers had 50 rebounds while the Heat only had 41. In Game 2, the Sixers tallied 49 while the Heat had 46. Prior to Game 3, Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra made it clear that they need to change this, as reported by Anthony Chiang of the Palm Beach Post:

“They’re burying us, they’re absolutely burying us on the glass,” Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said when asked about Philadelphia’s second-chance points. “They’re burying us, that has to change.”
