Miami’s historic comeback season didn’t stop Heat fans from leaving NBA Finals Game 3 early

Heat Miami NBA Finals Game 3 NBA Finals Ray Allen

The Miami Heat have made history as arguably the greatest playoff comeback team of all time. They have seven victories this postseason alone after trailing by 10-plus points — tied for the most ever in NBA lore.

Yet, as the Denver Nuggets cruised to a 2-1 series lead in the fourth quarter on Wednesday night, Heat fans started to leave their home arena in droves. And with a considerable amount of time left! Never mind that, eventually, with 1:22 left, Duncan Robinson put the Heat within nine points as they chased a very doable 103-94 margin.

But nope, even if Miami has proven to have incredible resolve, Heat fans still gave up a bit early for a championship game in a championship series.

Supporters leaving early naturally even saw the broadcast bringing up the infamous Game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals, where many left the arena early, only to miss one of the greatest last-second shots in history by Ray Allen.

Thanks to the brilliance of Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, it didn’t come back to bite Heat fans this time. But they should’ve learned this valuable team-supporting lesson a long time ago.

Heat fans were roasted for leaving Game 3 of the Finals way too early
