The Miami Heat have defied all odds and made it to the NBA Finals as the eighth seed, after defeating the Boston Celtics in Game 7.
They will now look to face a very well-rested Denver Nuggets team.
The full schedule of games has been released, with Game 1 taking place on Thursday, June 1 at Ball Arena – Denver’s home court.
Miami’s flights before Game 7 were already scheduled to fly straight to Denver rather than back to Miami. Seems as though the front office was very confident they would get the job done at The Garden.
