If you're looking to spread blame for Brooklyn's Game 2 loss to the Miami Heat, don't point any fingers at Mirza Teletovic.

Teletovic, who entered play Thursday with just nine career playoff points in nine games, exploded for 20 points, shocking the Heat early with five first-half triples.

By the end of the game, Teletovic had set a Nets franchise record for threes in a playoff game with six, having shot 6-of-9 from downtown and 7-of-12 overall. His shot chart was simple but elegant:

The Bosnian sharpshooter was just one three off from his career-high of seven and had only hit 20 points on five other occasions. He shouldn't have snuck up on the Heat, though, as he shot 39 percent from long range during the regular season.
