Heat fans enjoy taste of victory ahead of NBA Finals Game 3 against Denver Nuggets
With a taste of victory, Malorie Aldrich, Rome Jackson, Sebastian Lopez, and Gabriel Hernandez were among the Miami Heat fans who were preparing for Wednesday’s home Game 3 at the Kaseya Center during the NBA Finals.
While Lopez and Jackson celebrated Game 2 on Sunday at the Kaseya Center, Hernandez was in Denver and Aldrich was on a cruise ship that was on its way to the Port of Miami.
They said they will never forget how Gabe Vincent, Jimmy Butler, and Bam Adebayo scored the 65 that made the 111-108 win over the Denver Nuggets possible.
“Everybody closed the game out,” Jackson said. “I was like, ‘YES, SIR!’ You know what I mean? Let’s take it back!”
Aldrich was outside of the Kaseya Center on Monday morning in downtown Miami to buy some Miami Heat Eastern Conference Championship gear.
“When they won, and they missed that three-pointer, the Denver Nuggets did, it was like, we all started screaming,” Aldrich said.
Erik Spoelstra, Heat’s head coach since 2008, celebrated his players’ mental toughness.
It’s still unclear if Tyler Herro who suffered a broken hand during Game 1 will be able to play.
