#8 HEAT at #1 NUGGETS | FULL GAME 2 HIGHLIGHTS | June 4, 2023

Last time they lost a home game was back in march in the regular season And they showed once again how tough they were on the home floor in game one on thursday night I think bam has to go towards the rim putting more pressure on jokic as a defender And was their leading scorer in game one astruz knocks it down. How about that for strews all for 10? In game one, no hesitation knocks down his first nugget crowd trying to get him fired up. They stand Most of the crowd stands until they score Jokic Enables the crowd to sit although their chair a bit first before they do so The nuggets one of the reasons they're so good at home is their defense is so much better Here in denver strews two for two to start you have to try to make them score You mentioned that about jokic in the last game mark Jokic. Oh gorgeous pass and gordon. That's what gordon did in the first quarter of game one Butler finds strews again. No hesitation strips another Caldwell pope now on puttler good hands from caldwell pope to deflect it Butler now drives on caldwell poke gets inside shot. It's good bruce brown also in there for the first time for denver Seven on the shot clock jokic goes right at kevin lovins scores 5 on the 24 strews long distance knocks it down Again, as lisa's office reported at the top martin Question before the game i've been feeling sick last couple of days. Yeah Running just kind of flipped it up and got the soft balance pirouette bank shot missed it ball deflected Kept it alive. Now drives off the glass. He banks it in He had 31 points against the bulls and that's how they got in as the hc Brown falling away knocks it down That was excellent defense by the nuggets Bruce brown spots up brown knocks it down Another good play by christian penetration and finding lowry beautiful pass be rushed by martin Here's lowry charging right at brown deflected by adebayo stolen by murray. Murray goes up Now adebayo picks him up on the switch murray step back drives in Spins falling away. Got it Love gets it back goes inside the chip misses as well Goes to murray Murray to brown and the stuff bruce brown stripped and stolen by vincent Vincent goes right at christian brown count it and one tough shot first to steal now a chance for a three-point play for gabe vincent Jokic gets it back goes down the lane stops blocked by adebayo. Jokic on the second effort throws it up and in Butler searching jokic on him Falling away. Oh, what a tough shot from jimmy butler and the heat back within five by six now 11 points four assists three rebounds for butler much more aggressive Than in game one jokic touch pass to gordon. That's ridiculous Miami also with 11 assists here in the first half final seconds Struce adebayo jump shot is good bad adebayo with six points Miami bouncing back that's been the storyline all season for the heat vincent fires that hits vincent another three-pointer He's got 15 points. He leads all scores And jokic's pass was another brilliant read inside And throws it down two-point lead for denver meanwhile Free throws oh for two adebayo left-handed lays it up and in Adebayo right with him brown goes inside Gordon the rebound gets it out ball loose picked up By jokic vincent all over him and the shot is good coming up by two and a half to go here in the third jokic backs in much once again from the jokic We're gonna take zeller backs down backs down draws the foul shots good and with that time and a chance for a three-point play Zeller head down lost it deflected stolen by brown. Here comes jokic bringing it up the floor going coast to coast layup It's good boring machine here in the third quarter What's going to be the difference in the fourth to take a 2-0 seriously? This has to be our best quarter defensively simply stated We can't give up open threes and what's been plaguing us all nightly is the miscommunication a lack of discipline giving them wide open shot He's shortened his rotation because he earned sitting on the sideline Duncan robinson drives and finishes. I am so impressed with the improvement By duncan robinson off the dribble We've been watching kyle. Lowry do that for 17 years Robinson fires and hits a three-pointer Duncan robinson three for three all here to start the fourth quarter and it's a two-point game Benson's been the leading score Open three gabe benson knocks it down. Gabe. Benson is fourth three-pointer And miami their first lead since early in the second quarter four or five from downtown Miami's overcome a 15-point deficit duncan robinson drives and finishes Another tough shot 10 straight at one game apiece in hand denver their first home loss of these playoffs Glory out of i-o jumper got it But he's six for six from the field here in the fourth quarter Jokic telling him to get it inside catches turn shoots and scores 35 points for nicole jokic Jokic playing off of robinson trying to find an opening Butler corner three, it's good.
