It was physical, sometimes breathtakingly brutal, start to the Final as each team tried to mark its territory in...

Three days after an emotional Game 7 road victory to push past the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference finals, the Heat had the look of a team short on energy, height and shooting, falling 104-93 Thursday night to Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets at Ball Arena. With their fourth loss in their last five games, the Heat were unable to rekindle the East finals...
