The story of Miami Heat in these Playoffs it will be hard to forget. A team that, against all odds, has systematically beaten all its rivals without having the home court factor in its favor and without its third best available player. So until you get to NBA finals most unexpected of the last 24 years. However, the Denver Nuggets are being a much tougher nut to crack than those of Erik Spoelstra they could think Four games after starting the tie they are 3-1 down. A difference almost impossible to overcome, the only occasion (2016) being the exception that confirms the rule.
even with everything, in Miami Heat they trust their possibilities. More towards a fifth game in which everything is at stake, since not only is their elimination up in the air, but also the control of the story about their unexpected and epic story. The reality is that those from Florida have been going through a bad streak for some time, as strange as this may sound. Since they made it 3-0 in favor against the Celtics on May 21, they have accumulated a record of 2 wins and 6 losses.
Although his momentum may have been left behind, this is a team with a unique inner fire, capable of turning around almost any adversity. And that seems to be the message after the defeat in the fourth game.

“We are all focused”began Erik Spoelstra. “I told the guys that whatever they feel today is normal. They may not sleep for many hours. We have an incredibly competitive group. We’ve done everything the hard way and that’s the way we’re going to do it again.”

A message of calm, but also motivating from the team coach, who seems not to have found the key to stop the Nuggets, with or without Jokic.
“We felt we had opportunities in attack to score”he explained. “Some weird things happened on some of these possessions, or just misses in the paint or some untimely mistakes that led to turnovers. Every time we felt like we were getting it within six or eight points, they could expand it to 12. That was definitely a frustrating part of the game.”
Beyond Spoelstra’s analysis, the mantra inside the dressing room is not defeatism, it is hope and, above all, wanting to fight. As long as there’s an opportunity, the Miami Heat will go for it.
“There’s no doubt. We don’t have any of that. We’re not going to give up.”“Jimmy Butler said. “We’re going to fight non-stop, starting tomorrow, to get better. And then we’ll get to Monday and do what we said we were going to do all this time and we’ll win. We don’t have a choice. Otherwise, we did all this for no reason. “.
“We are going to do the same as always, go game by game”, continued the star. “Now we are in a situation where we have to win every game, which we are capable of. We have to correct some things, but it’s not impossible. We have to go out and get it. We have three victories to go.”
A mindset shared by your partner Bam Adebayo, who disappeared offensively in some moments of the fourth game, finishing with 20 points and 8 of 19 from the field (42.1%).
“We are going to go game by game. We have seen a team come back from 3-0 first hand. So we just have to believe and go one game after another”said the inside. “[En el vestuario hay] lots of angry people But the most important thing is that this is the best of four. That is the most important thing, the first to win four.”
However, history plays against Miami. Of the previous 36 times a team has been down 3-1 in the Finals, they have lost 35 of them.
Who was in that exception? Correct, Kevin Love, before with the Cavs and now with the Miami Heat.
“As we say here, you have to be ready. We know anything can happen. It’s been done before. In a Conference Finals and in an NBA Finals, I’ve been a part of it.” story. “You really just have to go possession by possession. Forget about the game. It’s just one possession, one quarter, one half, one half. You have to do whatever it takes and improvise.”
