The Denver Nuggets struck first in the NBA Finals with a 104-93 win against the Miami Heat. One of the staples of the Heat offense through their first three playoff series was the consistency from their three-point shooters. That was not the case in Game 1 as the Heat combined to shoot only 13-39 from the three-point line. That's not horrible, but it's not very good either and certainly not conducive to winning a playoff series. The Heat have to be better from three-point range in Game 2, specifically Caleb Martin and Max Strus. Their Game 1 struggles aren't too worrisome for Heat coach Erik Spoelstra though. After the game Spoelstra spoke about what he expects heading into Game 2 via ClutchPoints' own Tomer Azarly.

“They're fine, they're not going to get sick at sea. If they're shooters, you're not always going to be able to make all the shots you want,” Erik Spoelstra said. “Then you have to find different ways to impact the game. Our game is not built just on the three-point ball. We've proven that time and time again. We can win games, we can win series regardless of how the three is going. But we also have ignitable guys who see a couple go through, that all of a sudden can become an avalanche.”

In Game 1, Max Strus and Caleb Martin combined to shoot 1-11 from three-point range. That's not going to get it done when both players are starters. Spoelstra and the Heat will need much better offensive production from those two players if the Heat want to make the NBA Finals competitive.
