It's pretty ****ing hard to sweep a team, much less this late in the post-season. |

Perhaps our definition stealing it differs. I think we can both agree Denver is the better team, but far too many games are won/lost in the fourth quarter (football included) where one team takes over. The previous 3 quarters are all forgotten about. A great example is SB 54. I will agree that this was a game that Denver shouldn’t have lost. It will be interesting to see how they recover.

Miami is still likely the weakest team since the 1999 Knicks to make the Finals. They were certainly a candidate for it but Denver just didn’t show up in the 4th.

I guess one could make the argument they stole that game. Miami played well though. Draining those 3’s helps immensely. Miami did go into the lane pretty often in the 4th for big buckets late.

From an overall roster perspective those Cavs teams were worse, but they had the GOAT playing at an extremely high level (especially in 2018, that was still in LeBron’s peak). The Heat don’t have that level of player.

Maybe it's not statistically backed, but you'd think Denver would have the altitude advantage the longer games go but they've been outscored by double digits in both fourth quarters.

Miami had a great first quarter too! So no on the 40+ minutes. 1st and 4th for Miami. 2nd and 3rd for Denver.

The heat feel like a different animal than the other teams Denver has faced. They seem way better conditioned to handle it and spoelstra is excellent with his rotations. They also force Denver to work harder. Im sure Denver would love not to throw jokic kn the floor for 40+ minutes. Denver's been brutalizing opponents in the second half at home but I wonder if in this series they have a little bit of a home disadvantage
