“I’m going with Denver in Game 4,” Thomas said. “With what I just saw tonight, what you gonna do with the Joker? And if Murray gets going… they started double-teaming Murray, right? But even in the double-team he was finding and dishing. Now Denver’s comfortable. That Joker is something else, man.”
Game 4 will also take place in Miami. If the Heat were to lose, they would face elimination in Game 5 in Denver.
