Heat Hope To Bounce Back At Home
The Miami Heat play host to the Denver Nuggets in Game 4 of the NBA Finals at Kaseya Center on Friday.

The Nuggets lead the series 2-1, after they bounce back from a home loss in Game 2, to reclaim home-court advantage with a road win in Game 3.

Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray made history in the Game-3 win, becoming the first teammates to record 30-point triple-doubles in the same game. Jokic finished with 32 points, 21 rebounds, 10 assists and two blocks, while Murray had 34 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and a steal. Aaron Gordon added 11 points, 10 rebounds, five assists and a steal, while Christian Braun provided a boost off the bench with 15 points, four rebounds and a steal, in 19 minutes of action. On the other side, Jimmy Butler led the Heat with 28 points, two rebounds, four assists and a block, in 40 minutes. Bam Adebayo followed up with 22 points, 17 rebounds, three assists and a block, while Caleb Martin was the only other Heat player to score in double digits, with 10 points, three rebounds, three assists and two steals, off the bench.

The Game-3 loss marked the third home loss of the postseason for the Heat, and they must get back on track to claim Game 4, or else face elimination in Denver in Game 5. The Nuggets are 9-1 at home in the playoffs, with the only loss coming against the Heat in Game 2 of the Finals.

Neither side has any players listed on the injury report, other than Tyler Herro (hand), who has been out since Game 1 of the first round.
