By winning Game 2 in Denver a few days ago, the Heat had put themselves in an ideal position to take control of the series. Instead Miami lost twice in a row at home to a simply superior Denver team. It’s been since Game 3 once morest Boston in the Eastern Conference Finals that Jimmy Butler’s gang hasn’t won at home.
Do you know the disadvantage of the terrain?
It’s a concept that fits the Heat well right now. After losing Game 4 last night, Erik Spoelstra’s men are now on a nasty series of four consecutive defeats in front of their audience.
- Game 4 vs. Boston: 116-99 loss
- Game 6 vs. Boston: 104-103 loss
- Game 3 vs Denver: 109-94 loss
- Game 4 vs Denver: 108-95 loss
Difficult in these conditions to survive in the Playoffs.
The Heat are theoretically still alive, with Miami first qualifying for the NBA Finals with a victory over Boston in Game 7, before beating Denver in Game 2 of the series. Jimmy Butler and his friends know how to respond to adversity in hostile terrain, as if they needed to be in an uncomfortable situation to surpass themselves. But they have lost the recipe at homeand now it’s hard to see how they mightn’t definitely fall once morest a Denver team on a mission.
Your not-so-fun fact of the night: The Miami Heat still haven’t won an #NBAFinals game at home since June 20, 2013 — when they clinched Game 7 once morest the Spurs.
That’s 3,642 days ago & counting.

For the record, know that the Heat have not won a single NBA Finals game at home since the… Game 7 once morest Spurs in 2013, synonymous with back-to-back for the Heatles. And yet, there have been two other appearances in the grand final since. First in 2014, still once morest San Antonio, where the LeBron James – Dwyane Wade – Chris Bosh trio lost twice in a row at the American Airlines Arena to finally lose the series 4-1. And of course in 2020, except it was in Orlando’s anti-COVID bubble.
The current series once morest Denver is also very reminiscent of that once morest the Spurs in 2014. Like nine years ago, the Heat snatched an away victory in Game 2 to recover “home advantage”, before to be dominated quite clearly in front of his public during the two games in South Beach. In 2014, the Heatles failed to force a Game 6, can Jimmy Buckets and his family do it? It will be necessary to be able to return to Miami with the opportunity to redeem himself.
