The “Heats” are in fantastic shape and the latest results only confirm this. The team skated through Indiana in the first three games, so they are confidently leading in the series. Miami has become an order of magnitude stronger. The club reads the game better and the philosophy itself has changed. Eric Spoelstra’s charges did not leave the opponent a single chance and skillfully took advantage of the Pacers’ problems, so now it remains to bring the matter to an end. “Lights” are the favorites of the fourth fight, but one can only imagine how furious and motivated the opponent is and there is no doubt that the “pacers” will try to catch on to the last chance.
After the restart, Denver is plagued by setbacks. Important players are injured in this team all the time. For example, Will Barton is not playing now. Also questionable is the appearance on the floor of Gary Harris. It seemed that the absence of two players is a small loss, but the rest are not doing their best either. Jamal Murray and Paul Millsap are playing below their capabilities and it is difficult for Nicola Jokic alone to carry the whole team. It looks like Denver is in a big crisis right now. Mike Malone’s players have lost 6 of their last 8 matches and won their two victories with great difficulty in overtime.
