The Pepsi Center witnessed a battle worthy of the last instance of the National Basketball Association, the Heat took control of the game and managed to move the score in their favor. With the series 1-1 there is still no clear favorite to take the title; However, those led by Spoelstra will have a slight mental advantage, after this victory they will have the opportunity to play two consecutive games at home.
Although they went ahead on the scoreboard in the first quarter, Miami found themselves outclassed in the second and third chapters of the game. With the lead going to Denver, the visiting team had to get their hands on the matter if they were not going to be awarded the task of coming back from 2-0. To their good fortune, Duncan Robinson and an unexpected Gabe Vincent scored enough points to establish a double-digit lead over their rival.
For his part, despite the defeat, Nikola Jokic had another glorious night. The Serbian scored 41 points and grabbed 11 rebounds from the glass. Unfortunately, his teammates were not up to the task, Gordon and Murray had a nightmare night in Denver, between them they could only contribute 17 points and 13 rebounds; with those numbers it is very difficult that “the Joker” take full responsibility for trying to get the game going.
With this result, the series is more open than ever. Now we will have to travel to Florida to see if this fight will be extended to 6 matches or if one of the two teams decides to finish it in 5. With these two exhibitions that we have seen so far, it is certain that the winner will be a worthy champion of the tournament more prestigious basketball in the world.
