Published by techspotlight at 12:10 am under Box Scores, Denver Nuggets, Miami Heat, NBA, Teams Edit This

The Miami Heat faced off against the Denver Nuggets in an exhilarating game where the Heat were always playing from behind.  Even though they never led in the game, Dwayne Wade kept them in it, but they could not overcome the hurdle, and the Heat went down in defeat to the Nuggets with a final score of 108-97.

Despite Camelo Anthony being sidelined due to a hand injury, the Nuggets proved they could win anyway.  Linas Kleiza took his starting role and shot 6 for 13 with 21 points, leading the way for the team.  Billups, Martin and Nene were all in double figures for the starters.  J.R. Smith who is quickly becoming a shooting machine dropped in 21 points off the bench.  Denver now moves to an impressive record of 25 wins and 12 losses.
