Rashard Lewis is back after years of injures and being on the verge of retirement. And his impact has come in more ways than just his 42 percent three-point shooting.

To the delight of Lewis, he and his trapping buddy, Michael Beasley, have been very disruptive to other offenses trying to run the pick and role.

"For me, I think a couple years ago, I would have enjoyed the 3-pointers the most,” Lewis said to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. “On this team, I would have to go with the defensive play, getting the stop and steal. . . I would have to roll with the defensive play."

Miami’s first man off the bench is averaging 11 points per game and shooting over 40 percent from both the field and the three. Ray Allen is even putting the ball on the floor like back in his Milwaukee Bucks days.

Michael Beasley is often called on to give Miami instant offense when the stars are out. This is why he has crept his way into the rotation, providing almost a point per minute at his 10.9 average.
