Despite Nikola Jokic’s dominant performance in the third, where he racked up an impressive 18 points, the Heat managed to keep their composure and close the game strongly. The Nuggets failed to maintain their momentum into the fourth quarter, partly due to lackluster defense and partly due to a lack of energy, which Coach Michael Malone publicly expressed after the game.

However, all credit must go to Miami. They executed their game plan effectively, particularly in the fourth quarter, where they showed their ability to perform under pressure. Contributions came from multiple sources, including their role players and Kevin Love, who provided an additional scoring punch.

Yet, the standout player was undoubtedly Bam Adebayo. Tasked with leading the offense in the fourth quarter, he rose to the occasion, coming up with crucial plays that helped tilt the game in Miami’s favor. His impact on both ends of the floor was evident and vital in securing Miami’s victory.
