Denver Nuggets vs. Miami Heat Game 4 Preview
So, we did not do so well with our last set of predictions. That does not mean that we stop swinging for the fences. Let’s shake off the game three stink and embrace a brand new opportunity with game four.
The Denver Nuggets are just two victories away from putting a damper on this South Florida party. However, the Nuggets should keep in mind what happened in Game 2. There’s still plenty of HEAT simmering in Miami and it is going to take a championship effort if they plan on going back to Denver up 3-1.
Denver Nuggets
What the Nuggets did in Game 3 was historic. Two-time MVP Nikola Jokic and his sidekick Jamal Murray were awesome!
Jokic finished with a stat line of 32 points, 21 rebounds and 10 assists and became the first player ever to log at least 30 points, 20 rebounds and 10 assists in an NBA Finals game. Jamal Murray scored a game-high 34 points to go with 10 rebounds and 10 assists. It signals the first contest in which teammates scored a 30 point triple-double in NBA playoff history.
“They played amazing,” veteran forward Jeff Green said. “They took what the defense gave them. Jokic has been doing it all year. Both of them, Jamal as well. We feed off of those guys. They make the game easy for us and we try to do the same for them.”
Miami Heat
The great part of the beauty of an NBA series lies in the adjustments that take place between games.
Erik Spoelstra made a bold adjustment and one that yielded positive results right from the outset.

Heat center Bam Adebayo said the squad has faced challenging situations before.
“You trust one another to do their job, and you let the chips fall where they may,” said Adebayo, who had 22 points and 17 rebounds in Game 3. “I trust 1 through 5, 1 through 15. You trust the staff. Everybody has a belief that you can get that job done. If everybody has that belief and everybody comes with the right mindset, that is how you can get it done.”
Hopefully Playoff Jimmy gets back on track… we haven’t seen a legacy performance in over a few weeks, and if it needs to happen, it needs to happen right here in game four.
