The Denver Nuggets are on the precipice of securing their first championship in franchise history ahead of Game 5 of the NBA Finals. For the Miami Heat, every game from this point on is a must-win. No team has ever come back from down 3-1 in the finals. As daunting as that task may be, the Heat have received news that should give reason for hope ahead of tonight’s matchup as Tyler Herro is expected to attempt a return tonight, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
Can the efforts of Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, and the returning Tyler Herro hold off the Nuggets for at least one more night? Or will Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray deliver the Denver Nuggets’ first-ever NBA championship?
