Five players scored in double figures and the Miami Heat defeated the Denver Nuggets 111-108 in Game 2 of the NBA Finals (www.NBA.com), tying the best-of-seven series 1-1. Gabe Vincent got 23 points with Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo adding 21 points each.
Nikola Jokic finished with 41 points and 11 rebounds while shooting 57 percent from the floor, but it was not enough to turn things around for the Nuggets down the stretch. Jamal Murray added 18 points and 10 assists for Denver who will look to take back homecourt advantage when they head to Miami for the next two games.
