Nuggets-Heat Game 2 live stream (6/4): How to watch NBA Finals online, TV, time
The Denver Nuggets and Miami Heat meet in Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday, June 4. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial).
Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra knows what the Heat are up against; it’s nothing new for Denver. The Nuggets’ potent duo of Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray has been nearly unstoppable in powering Denver’s 13-3 run through the playoffs, including a 104-93 win in Game 1.
A win Sunday night would make them just the second team this century to win its first 10 home games in a single postseason. The Nuggets’ run to what they hope is their first NBA championship is being fueled by Jokic and Murray.
They’re entering the pantheon of pick-and-roll royalty of standard-bearers John Stockton and Karl Malone. But the Nuggets do it with a different twist.
Whereas Malone set up almost all of the screens for Stockton when they were Utah Jazz teammates, Denver’s version is ambidextrous, doubling the difficulty of deciphering much less defusing it.
Both Murray and Jokic are three-level scorers who can shoot 3-pointers, make midrange jump shots and drive to the basket. Their Game 1 performance put them in some elite company.
Heading into the series opener, only Michael Jordan in 1991 and Russell Westbrook in 2012 had at least 25 points, 10 assists and five rebounds in an NBA Finals debut. Jokic and Murray added their names to that list Thursday night — Murray had 26 points, 10 assists and six rebounds and Jokic extended his NBA record with his ninth triple-double in these playoffs, getting 27 points, 14 assists and 10 rebounds.
