Bravo to whoever at Nike figured out a way to do this fun ad celebrating Nikola Jokic without requiring the guy who hates doing promo and commercials to do promo and a commercial.

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro is expected to play Game 5 barring any setbacks, according to ESPN.

Herro has been practicing with the team since the ECF. He’s also been seen at practices in this #NBAFinals series.

Spoelstra has been hesitant to put him back on active duty.

Heat's Vincent with his 3rd foul already.
This was the same scenario in Game 3, where the Nuggets were picking the matchups and getting him to foul.

Heat with the lead, 21-20 at the end of the 1st quarter. That last bucket by Butler truly energized this crowd.

Nuggets coach Michael Malone when asked about Heat's 'must-win' scenario, "This is a must-win for us. This is the Finals. This can't be human nature, "We came down, got one game, we can relax."
