Game 3: Postgame

Denver Nuggets 109, Miami Heat 94

Q. What adjustments do you think they made to how you approached them defensively?

GABE VINCENT: I think their approach was great. I think they got to their two-man early and it was pretty effective for them tonight.

Q. On nights like this when those two guys are cooking the way that they are, what can you guys do defensively to slow them down?

GABE VINCENT: We can be way more intentional following our game plan. We got away from that a little bit. We have a small margin of error, so we got to be more detailed with our stuff.

Q. Their size presents a very difficult task right now. Can you talk about that a little bit?

GABE VINCENT: Every team we’ve played this playoff run has had quote-unquote size on us, so we aren’t going to start making that excuse now, respectfully.

Q. Were they protecting the three-point line tonight a lot more than previous games?

GABE VINCENT: I think that was more of a product of our lack of detail offensively. Just our spacing and attention.
