are facing off against the Denver Nuggets (on the road) for Game 5 of the NBA Finals. 
The Nuggets defeated the Miami Heat Monday night with a score of 94-89; they won the best-of-seven series in five games.
Denver Nuggets have won the NBA Finals, making it the first title in the team's 47-year NBA history. Nikola Jokic guided Denver to its first NBA title in team history Monday night, as the Nuggets overcame dreadful shooting and a late flurry from Miami's Jimmy Butler to squeeze past the Heat for a frantic 94-89 victory in Game 5.
He bailed out the Nuggets, going 12 for 16 from the floor on a night when none of his teammates could find the basket. Denver missed 20 of its first 22 3-point attempts and seven of its first 13 free throws, yet somehow figured out how to close out the series on its home floor.
Heat take an 87-86 lead with 2:45 left after trailing by seven. He made two more free throws with 1:58 remaining to help Miami regain a one-point lead. Then, Bruce Brown got an offensive rebound and tip-in to give the Nuggets the lead for good.
Trailing by three with 15 seconds left, Butler jacked up a 3, but missed it. Brown made two free throws to put the game out of reach and clinch the title for Denver.
Miami Heat come into the night trailing the series 3-1 after losing both Games 3 and 4 on their home floor in Miami, Florida.
The Heat, who survived a loss in the play-in tournament and became only the second No. 8 seed to make it to the finals, insisted they weren't into consolation prizes.
They played as if they expected to win, and for a while during this game, which was settled more on the ground than in the air, it looked like they would.
The Nuggets were tentative on both sides of the court for the rest of the half. Somehow, after shooting 6.7% from 3 — the worst first half in the history of the finals (10-shot minimum) they only trailed by seven.  
If the Heat are able to pull off the upset, Game 6 will be back in Miami on Thursday night.
