4 keys for Heat to win game 4

4 keys for victory for the Heat in game 4

MIAMI — Supposed home court advantage has switched twice in three NBA Finals games, which is enough to question whether home court advantage really exists in this series.

The Nuggets took game 3 by triple-doubling the Miami Heat into oblivion Wednesday night in South Beach, 109-94. Now they have a chance to move within one step of their first-ever NBA championship. How can the Heat stop that and win Game 4 Friday (8:30 p.m. ET, ABC) at Kaseya Center.

1.Control Jamal Murray:

During the Heat’s game 2 win the Miami Heat held Jamal Murray to only 18 points off 7-15 shooting. If the Heat want to win game 4 they have to control him.

2. REBOUND!!.

The Heat were out rebounded by 58 to 33 in game 3 and that led to many points. If the Heat can do a better job in that area we may see a very different result in game 4.

3. Pace.

The Nuggets so far this series have not really blown the Heat out in any game, but could do so very quickly. The Nuggets are a really good 3 point shooting team and have the ability to create a quick lead. Up to this game the Heat have done a good job in keeping games close, if they want to win game 4 they will have to continue to do so.

4. Jimmy.

Jimmy hasn’t played lights out so far this series. If Jimmy can take over the 4rth quarter the Heat will win this game. They need Himmy
