It won’t be easy for the Heat, but they’ve defied and beat the odds during this playoff run.
This will be a really difficult hurdle to overcome, but Butler believes in the Heat.
Denver has played the best basketball in the league all season long, and regardless of how scrappy the Heat can be, this is a difficult challenge.
Erik Spoelstra also sent a message to his team and the Nuggets, making it clear they will try to return to Miami one last time.
Erik Spoelstra on his message to the Heat:
“We’ve done everything the hard way. That’s the way it’s gonna have to be done again. All we’re going to focus on is getting this back to the 305. Get this thing back to Miami & things can shift very quickly.”pic.twitter.com/w4tRRiQzXI

Game 3 saw Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray posting triple-doubles.
In Game 4, Aaron Gordon dropped 27 points and Bruce Brown added 21.
It’s been hard for Miami to stop a team that not only relies on its two stars but that can be saved by role players.
Game 5 is in Denver, and they’ll need to bring their best game to try to beat the Nuggets.
