After the Heat's 108-111 victory over the Nuggets that went 1-1 in the Finals, Miami almost obsessively refused to take credit for themselves. It started with the coach ("This bunch is like a muscle") and continued with Adebayo ("Working on Jokic? Just a team thing") Ronen Dorfen watched Game 2 and overcame the philosophical gap between the two teams.

Dorfen: There was far less self-satisfaction in Miami's press conference after the Game 2 win than in the Nuggets' press conference.
