As long as Bam doesn't get in foul trouble, having Jokic drop 35+ with just 4 assists while no one else on DEN but Murray gets more than 9 shot attempts... MIA will gladly live with that.
For both games, MIA's worst defense was their offense. Game 1 they'd get multiple stops but brick or turn the ball over which allowed DEN to light them up in transition/semi-transition cross-matches. Tonight, MIA wasn't perfect (complete trash when the bench subbed in the 1st half) but you saw they executed more/hit shots, so DEN had to face a set defense.
That's what will make game 3 interesting now that MIA is headed home with no fear of DEN anymore than they had of MIL or Boston. And also, if Jimmy will ever have a big game again.
