The Miami Heat and Denver Nuggets will play the 2023 NBA Finals in 7 games scheduled from June 1 to 18 (if they are tied in six games) at Pepsi Center (Colorado) and Kesaya Center (Florida). The Nuggets are making their first appearance in the NBA Finals since 1994, while the Heat are making their sixth appearance in the last 15 years. The atmosphere in the park was charged in the half hour before the game, reminiscent of the Larry Bird days. However, Boston's hopes were dashed early in the game when Jason Tatum twisted his ankle on their first possession, rendering him ineffective throughout the rest of the game, contributing to their final loss.To watch the live stream, click on Live Photos 👇
This is a match between two very different teams. The Denver Nuggets are the most talented team, but the Heat is the most experienced team. The Nuggets had never been to the Finals before, while the Heat have been to the Finals four times in the past 10 years.The Denver Nuggets earned the top seed in the Western Conference and played like the team was defeated in three rounds. Led by two-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets dispatched the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round, took over the business against the Phoenix Suns in the second round and swept the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals. Now, they are on the cusp of their first championship.
The Miami Heat were just one comeback to get out of the playoffs this year together. Instead, they captured the last playoff game in the Eastern Conference and proceeded to wreak havoc. Jimmy Butler and company kicked things off by dismantling the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks and then beating the New York Knicks. They knocked out the World Cup finals ticket with revenge against the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals.
