NBA Finals: Heat lose physical battle vs. Nuggets with time running out to make adjustments

MIAMI — The Miami Heat are at their best when they make sure you can’t access your best performance, and to win the NBA Finals, allowing the Denver Nuggets to have historical outputs and winning the physical game is unacceptable.

The Heat didn’t play Game 3 on their terms, watching as Nikola Jokiu0107 and Jamal Murray danced all over the floor to the tune of their own creation, and the Heat kept clapping on the 1s and 3s.

Missed rebounds, missed shots and bodies hitting the floor was an unexpected sight for the Heat in their first home Finals game in nearly 10 years.
