Heat's Valiant Effort

Despite falling short against Denver's offensive onslaught, Miami Heat put up respectable numbers themselves. They scored a total of 113 points while shooting at a rate of fifty percent from the field and twenty-seven percent from three-point range. The Heat matched Denver in total rebounds with forty-five each but lagged in assists with thirty compared to Denver’s thirty-five.

Miami had moments where they shone through individual performances as well; however, they struggled to contain Denver’s dynamic duo of Murray and Jokic whose combined efforts tilted the game in favor of The Nuggets.
