Miami came back from 15 points apart to win a dramatic 108-111 victory and handed Denver its first home loss in the playoffs. Nikola Jokic was limited to just 4 assists, frighteningly close to his season-low 3, which he recorded only twice.
Erik Spoelstra's decision to start with Kevin Love in place of the ailing Caleb Martin allowed Miami to create better passing routes, and he may continue to get credit in future games. Miami has broken all predictions this season, Malone isn't looking to join the victim list and the Nuggets will have to get back to basics.
