The Miami HEAT fell to the Denver Nuggets 86-83 Monday night at Cox Pavilion in the Samsung Las Vegas Summer League. Below are some takeaways from the game.
1 – Shabazz Napier Sets The Pace
In his last time out against the Jazz, Napier dished out some great passes to make life easier for his teammates. On Monday, Napier continued that trend and looked in control of the offense. The sophomore point guard pushed tempo early and helped Miami take a 41-36 lead at halftime. On one such instance, Napier threw a fantastic two-handed bounce pass in transition to Joshua Smith, who finished the easy slam.
