I forget who Hornacek did it to, maybe the Lakers in a playoff. Hit a couple 3's and had a steal. Totalled 8 points in just a few seconds...
This is from ESPN/AP:
** Miami still led 98-90 with a half-minute left before Millsap caught fire: He hit a trio of 3-pointers, then grabbed the rebound of CJ Miles' miss from the left corner and scored at the end of regulation to give Utah another 5 minutes.
"I'd never seen him hit a 3 before," Bosh said.
Very few people had.
Millsap, who finished 19 of 28 from the field, had been a 2-for-20 shooter from 3-point range in his career -- then went 3 for 3 against Miami, all with the outcome in the balance. Add a 3-pointer from Williams, and Utah scored 14 points in the last 28 seconds of regulation.
"The man was on fire," Wade said.
Does Millsap have the green light?
"He does now," Utah coach Jerry Sloan said.
Talk about being an unlikely hero. In eight previous games against Miami, Millsap had averaged 6.9 points. He became the eighth player to score at least 46 points against the Heat, a list that also includes Michael Jordan, James, Willie Burton, Jamal Crawford, Vince Carter, Alex English and Gilbert Arenas.
"He got easy buckets," Bosh said. "A lot of easy buckets."
The Heat missed five shots in the final two minutes of overtime that either would have tied the game or given them the lead, including Eddie House's desperation jumper at the buzzer. Spoelstra said the play was designed for James to get a lob at the rim, an option Utah took away.
"Jerry Sloan is one of the best coaches we have in our league," James said. "He kind of figured out what we wanted to do." **
