Miami Heat Fall Short Despite Strong Start
The Heat got off to a strong start in Game 3, taking an early lead and holding on to it for much of the first half. However, the Nuggets chipped away at the lead and eventually took the lead for good with a 10-0 run in the third quarter. The Heat were unable to recover from that point, and the Nuggets cruised to a comfortable victory.
Jimmy Butler led the Heat with 25 points, while Bam Adebayo added 18 points and 11 rebounds. Tyler Herro also had a good game with 17 points off the bench. However, the Heat's supporting cast was unable to provide enough help, and the Nuggets were able to take advantage of that.
The series now shifts to Denver for Game 4 on Friday. The Heat will need to find a way to bounce back and tie the series before it's too late.
