Kevin Love and the Heat look to replicate what he has done with the Cavaliers in the 2016 NBA Finals: come back from a 3-1 deficit and win a championship.
Miami Heat forward Kevin Love rejoined the team in Denver, one day after his wife, model Kate Bock, gave birth.
Love missed the Heat’s flight to the Mile High City and flew on his own Sunday to watch film and handle media responsibilities, one day before Game 5 of the NBA Finals on Monday, June 12 . “Everybody is happy and healthy,” Love said during a press conference. “… Was able to make it in for our film session.”
“Got a little bit of sleep, so today will be good to get up and down, get acclimated here and get some treatments, get some rest and be ready to roll.”The Heat trail the Denver Nuggets 3-1 in the best-of-seven series. Only one team has ever recovered from such a deficit to win the Finals – the Cleveland Cavaliers, who beat the Golden State Warriors in 2016.“Naturally when your back is up against the wall you start to look for answers, solutions,” said Love, a five-time All-Star.
“I know that’s something that is cliche and everybody says but again, we feel like if we come out, have a good start tomorrow, play extremely hard and give ourselves a chance and take it back to Miami, that is right where we want to be.”He averaged 7.7 points and 5.7 rebounds in 21 games for Miami in the regular season, and he is contributing 7.1 points and 5.7 boards in 19 postseason games .
