Duncan Robinson sets Heat record for most three-pointers in a postseason game

Duncan Robinson of York, Maine set the Miami Heart franchise record on Sunday for most three-pointers in a playoff game with eight. The 27-year-old achieved the mark five days before his 28th birthday, in a 115-91 Miami clobbering over the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday. With the win, the Heat lead the Eastern Conference first round playoff series 1-0.

Robinson made his eight three-pointers in nine attempts. He finished the game with a game-high 27 points. Robinson was among three Heat players to have the old record with seven three-pointers. He was tied with Damon Jones of Galveston, Texas, and Mike Miller of Mitchell, South Dakota. Portland Trail Blazers star point guard Damian Lillard has the NBA playoff record for most three-pointers in a playoff game with 12, which was set on June 1, 2021.

The Hawks were one of two road teams to qualify for the NBA Playoffs on Friday night in the play-in tournament. They defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 107-101 to become the eighth seed in the East. In the West, the New Orleans Pelicans became the number eight seed, following a 105-101 win over the Los Angeles Clippers.
