Game 2 Was a Topsy-Turvy Affair

Sunday’s Game 2 was one of ebbs and flows. Miami raced out to a 21-10 lead only to find itself down 15 midway through the second quarter. Jimmy Butler and company hung tough, trimming the deficit to six by halftime. Denver managed to stretch its lead to eight by the end of the third, but was undone by 15-2 Heat run at the start of the fourth.

Miami’s torrid start to the final quarter proved decisive as the Heat held on for a 111-108 win.

Miami’s win was spurred by a balanced attack. Gabe Vincent led the way with 23, while Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo both added 21. As a team, the Heat were a scorching 50% from beyond the arc (17-34), mitigating their 38-31 disadvantage on the glass.

Suiting up for the first time since Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals, Kevin Love chipped in with six points, ten rebounds, and two steals in 22 minutes of action.

Jamal Murray, who’s averaging 27.6 PPG in the postseason, had something of a quiet night, with just 18 points on 7-15 shooting from the floor.
