Winner at the end of the suspense once morest the Thunder, the Heat also took the opportunity to mark the history of the League. By scoring 40 shots without missing a single one, Miami set a new NBA record!
This is a match that was harmless on paper. The Heat deprived of almost all its players once morest the young people of OKC carried by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Not really enough to talk regarding it at length. And yet, it will be said that this January 11, 2023 will remain in the annals of the NBA. The South Beach troupe has indeed achieved a small feat that will make history. They managed 40 free throws without missing a single one! It’s simply a new NBA record and if we believe StatMuseMiami is better than the 1982-1983 version of the Jazz, which might not do better than 39. The Celtics of 1990 complete the podium with 35 attempts in a row.
Already reaching 40 shots is quite strong (no team this night has shot as many) but above all achieving a clear round is quite incredible. Not a single boy with shaky hands, and we think in particular of Jimmy Butler, author of a perfect 23/23 on the line including this final throw which offers victory to Miami at the end of the suspense. It took nerves of steel to go put this one on, especially when you see where the Heat are coming from.

The record may not sell dreams like that, but you still have to tell yourself that it has held firm for 40 years! You might think it’s a lucky day for Miami but be careful not to underestimate the Floridians in this exercise. This season, the Heat have the best record in the entire NBA on the line, tied with the Celtics. (82.6%)
Heat players are the kings of the free throw and here they are masters of a new NBA record. How long will it take to beat this one?
