We have ourselves a series in the 2023 NBA Finals after the Heat stole Game 2 on the road in Denver.
Despite 41 points from Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets dropped their first home game of the 2023 NBA Playoffs after Miami shot the lights out from 3-point range, converting at a blistering 48.6 percent clip.
