DENVER ― Miami’s Jimmy Butler had an escape room outing planned
for Saturday.
It was a metaphor.
The Heat unlocked the door to victory, beating the Denver Nuggets 111-
108 in Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday, tying the best-of-seven
series 1-1 and adding intrigue.
Denver’s Jamal Murray missed a 3-point attempt at the buzzer that
could’ve forced overtime.
Miami used an impressive fourth quarter, overcoming an 83-75 deficit
and outscoring the Nuggets 36-25 in the final 12 minutes. Gabe Vincent
led Miami with 23 points, Bam Adebayo added 21 points and nine
rebounds and Butler finished with 21 points and nine assists.
