Final thoughts
Alright, that was an exciting finish and I am shocked as anybody that my prediction of the Heat winning a one-possession game actually came true. This is an extremely unusual event unlikely to be repeated.
We will continue to cover the NBA finals here at the Guardian until its conclusion, which means at least three more games after this. This, however, will end today’s live coverage of Game 2. Thanks to everybody who read along with us these last few hours including the one brave soul who actually wrote it. Ciao!

I said it over and over and over and over before the series. If the Heat shoot 50% from 3, they're going to win the series.

48.6% but who’s counting? The Nuggets shot 39.3% and struggled in the fourth quarter and still had a chance to at least tie it at the buzzer. The Heat may be heading home for Wednesday’s Game 3 but they may have only made the Nuggets angry.
