Did the Heat catch fire or did they just find a way to put one out?

The Miami Heat defeated the Denver Nuggets in comeback style last night in Denver. The two teams battle back in forth for the first 3 quarters but Miami was down 8 heading into the 4th. The Heat went on a 15-2 scoring run in the first 3 minutes of the final quarter and created some much-needed separation with the score now 90-85, Miami up. The Nuggets would pull get within 3 points a few more times but could never get closer and Miami would grab the 111-108 win.

What was Miami’s key to success?

Was it a share offensive effort? That probably helped

Was it stopping Nikola Jokic? That didn’t happen

Was it slowing down Jamal Murray? Most likely
