Check out the NBA Playoffs schedule for today’s games. The Miami Heat upset the Denver Nuggets in Game 2 of the NBA Finals, proving once again that they are a team that should never have their chances written off. The series is now tied at 1-1, and Games 3 and 4 will be played in South Florida. Miami overcame a 15-point deficit to pull off the comeback and advance.
The Heat got off to a quick start, withstood the onslaught from the Nuggets, and ultimately pulled off the thrilling 111-108 victory. Duncan Robinson scored ten points in the fourth quarter in less than two minutes, which ignited Miami’s valiant comeback.
Robinson’s accurate shooting contributed to the defense becoming more flexible, which in turn provided Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo with a little more room to maneuver. The last quarter was led offensively and defensively by superstars from Miami, who combined for 15 points on offence and made major contributions in both areas.
The current record for most playoff games won by an eighth-seeded club that advanced to the championship round is held by the Heat, who have won a total of 13. A higher-seeded opponent’s home-court advantage in a postseason series has been taken away from Miami for the fourth straight series. This is the fourth time in a row that this has happened.
Nikola Jokic finished with a game-high 41 points and only had four assists, despite scoring 28 of those points in the second half. The two-time NBA Most Valuable Player has not won a postseason game for the Nuggets despite scoring at least 40 points in each of those games.

Denver Nuggets vs Miami Heat
Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the Miami Heat and the Denver Nuggets will get underway at 8:30 p.m. Eastern Time. The venue of the game will be At the Kaseya Centre, Miami, FL.
The addition of Kevin Love to the starting lineup for the Miami Heat gave them an advantage in terms of size and length against the Denver Nuggets. When Kevin Love was in the starting lineup, Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra matched Jimmy Butler up with Jamal Murray.
In the end, Denver was able to make some adjustments, and they played quite well, but the Nuggets will need to find a solution to this problem. Miami may begin to put more pressure on its other players, with the possible exception of Nikola Jokic, who attempted 13 field goals in the first half alone.
Nikola Jokic contributions during the playoffs were the fewest of anyone
When Jokic finds the back, it’s difficult for his teammates to get going. Mike Malone did not seem concerned by the defensive play of the Miami Heat or the fact that they missed shots. It was only because his team did not put in the effort and grit required to compete in and win the NBA Finals that he was dissatisfied with them.
Due to how the Nuggets acted, they should have been ejected from the building; nonetheless, this did not occur.
The four assists that Jokic contributed during the playoffs were the fewest of anyone. However, Jamal Murray had ten coins worth a dime in his possession. Denver will likely make adjustments to engage team members more and build a rhythm.
