The Miami Heat<\/a> got the fourth-quarter surge they needed to come back and beat the Denver Nuggets, 111-108, in Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Heat went on a 17-4 run to start the final quarter, regaining the lead, but the Nuggets<\/a> were able to use an 11-2 run of their own to get within three points of the Heat with less than 90 seconds to play.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, the Heat were able to fend off desperation mode, as Jimmy Butler closed out on a stepback Jamal Murray three-pointer that would\u2019ve sent the game to overtime at the final buzzer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Murray\u2019s shot was just short, hitting the front rim as the clock struck zero \u2013 just as Miami wanted it to.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Getting one game to go your way on the road is always a success in the playoffs<\/a>, and one of the main reasons that came to be was making the three ball.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Miami, who leads all playoff teams in three-point percentage this postseason, struggled in Game 1 of the Finals, especially from Max Strus and Gabe Vincent who previously thrived from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n

Strus was a stunning 0-for-10 from the field, including nine missed threes, in Game 1. But, as the saying goes, shooters shoot.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Strus hit four first-quarter threes to get Miami off to a hot start (they won the quarter 26-23). He would miss his next six attempts from deep, but the Heat needed that production.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Vincent was even better, going 4-of-6 from three, and 8-of-12 overall for a team-high 23 points with three assists and two steals for the Heat.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Butler came in clutch in the fourth quarter \u2013 a common occurrence these days \u2013 as he finished 7-for-19 for 21 points with nine assists and four rebounds. Bam Adebayo also contributed 21 points of his own on 8-of-14 from the field, adding a perfect 5-of-5 from the charity stripe.<\/p>\n

As a team, the Heat shot 48.6% from three, which is the recipe for success when trying to beat the Nuggets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Denver\u2019s end, Nikola Jokic didn\u2019t have a triple-double like he did in Game 1, but he did drop 41 points on 16-for-28 to lead the game in that category. He had 11 rebounds to make it a double-double, but only four assists as he took the scoring into his own hands Sunday night.<\/p>\n

HEAT’S BAM ADEBAYO AVOIDS OFFICIATING QUESTION ON FREE-THROW DISCREPANCY: \u2018WILL YOU TAKE THE FINE?\u2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

It was odd to see Murray with just 18 points considering how he\u2019s been performing in these playoffs \u2013 he\u2019s averaged 27 points a night since entering Game 2. He had 18 points on 7-of-15 from the field (3-of-8 from three).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Aaron Gordon provided 12 points and seven rebounds, while Bruce Brown came off the bench with 11 points on 4-of-9 shooting.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With this loss, Denver conceded their first playoff game at home.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Game 3 will take place in Miami on Wednesday with tip-off set for 8:30 p.m.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
