I didn’t like the way the heat played before Denver got the ball back. Butler should’ve attacked the hoop or make and try to just take a 15 foot jumper instead of jacking up a 3. They are lucky Murray did miss the 3

One thing that gets overlooked is Heat have the best perimeter defense in the playoffs, made Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum’s life miserable from the 3 point line last series. Those two shot a 20% combined from the 3pt line. People were saying how those two were the best tandem. The Heat know how to shut teams down from the perimeter even if it’s your strength.

Coming down from a 15 pt deficit also proves Den d# is flawed and they can be beaten with the right scheme and execution.
Even though Duncan took the job of Jimmy at time during gm2 and exceeded expectations at it, I still think the key to Mia offense is Gabe Vincent / Jimmy for not is being a facilitator. Maybe his ankle is not 100%
