Heat forward made NBA Finals history during Game 1

Strus went 0-for-10 from the field Thursday night, and 0-for-9 from three-point range. He's the first player to take ten shots or more without a make since Ray Allen was 0-for-13 in Game 3 of the 2010 NBA Finals. Allen did make two free throws in that game for two points, while Strus went scoreless.

He wasn't alone in his shooting struggles. Duncan Robinson shot 1-for-6, and Caleb Martin was 1-for-7, after shooting 48.9% from three-point range in the conference finals.

The tie was with Allen and Kendrick Perkins (1-for-4) in that same 2010 Finals game. Somehow Boston only lost by seven points.

Jimmy Butler didn't seem worried about his teammates' shooting going forward, insisting he was going to keep giving them the ball.

As for Strus, he didn't seem fazed. He told reporters he got over the bad shooting night "right away", and Saturday, he was the first Heat rotation player out shooting. 

And he looked good!

What can history tell us? Allen went on to miss all four of his three-pointers in Games 4 and 5 — but went 9-for-13 on two-pointers as the Celtics won both games. Boston won Game 4 without a single starter making a three, in fact — 2010 was a very different time.

Strus will likely keep firing away from deep in Game 2. But Ray Allen would advise him to try a few shots inside the arc too.
