If there is any window for Miami to make another big upset and win this series as an underdog it is to win this Game#2 which is in reality a "must-win" game for a team from Florida if they want the 2023 ring. But that means also this is at the same time the most important game in Denver's franchise history because teams win the NBA playoffs series in 93% of cases after a 2-0 lead (31-5 86% in NBA finals)!

Key game to hold home court advantage.

On the other hand, Denver should be able to win on the road if needed.

I just want to keep the MOMENTUM, I'm sure we can take one (or more) on the road but that'd be type of change that swings a championship

Won't it be nice to end the season on a 9-game win streak !!

I will be enough happy if the Nuggets stay unbeaten at home in April, May, and June. The best three months to stay unbeaten at home!

I like either scenario. If the Nuggets win this game 2, a sweep feels more likely. Even if they lose this game, I still think the Nuggets come out on top eventually.

Agreed, winning in Miami doesn't seem nearly as daunting to the Nuggets as winning in DEN is to the Heat

Guess we'll see who has more focus....the Nuggets in their quest for an NBA title or the NBA and the refs on their quest to extend this series for the ALMIGHTY $$$.....

And the story continues to play out

Butler is off his game tonight

+6 on halftime is a decent lead considering a bad 10-21 start. Braun was an X-factor in 1st half.

Eight pt lead going into the 4th qtr. Time to put these clowns away

Refs just horrible in that series, just horrible

Braun getting taken advantage of, so outta place

Flop City now

Pitiful reffing

Pitiful reffing, but bounces did go Miami way

See you in Miami.

cry harder that foul on bam was bull and you know it

We have a much better team, for me, we are still bold favorites to win the title despite home-court advantage being gone. After +8 at the start of the final quarter, Malone has one job, but he fails. Spolstera >> Malone, Butler >> KCP, and BenchMIA >> BenchDEN is the only advantages Miami has against Denver, everything else is on the Nuggets' side.
