The numbers say that the 6-foot-10 Andersen is every bit as unique as he looks. After the Heat signed him to a 10-day contract on Jan. 20, they won 39 of the 42 regular-season games in which he played -- the highest winning percentage in league history for a player who played in at least 40 games over one season.
His 82.9 percent shooting in the playoffs (29-for-35) is currently an NBA record for anyone attempting as many shots in one postseason. Miami is 9-1 with him in the playoffs, and there was no exaggerating his impact here Wednesday.
