Nuggets Extend Dominance Over Heat with 11th Straight Home Win

In a matchup between two of the NBA's top teams, the Denver Nuggets extended their regular-season dominance over the Miami Heat on November 2nd, 2025, securing a 122-112 victory at home. The Nuggets' star center, Nikola Jokic, led the charge with a remarkable performance, recording his fifth triple-double of the season with 33 points, 16 assists, and 15 rebounds.

The Nuggets jumped out to an early lead and never looked back, leading by as many as 17 points in the fourth quarter. However, the resilient Heat made a late push, cutting the deficit to just eight points with 43 seconds remaining. But Jamal Murray sealed the win for Denver with a pair of free throws.

The victory marked the Nuggets' 11th straight regular-season win over the Heat, a streak that dates back to November 2016. While the Heat did manage to defeat the Nuggets in Game 2 of the 2023 NBA Finals, Denver ultimately won the series in five games for their first-ever championship.

The game was not without its share of injuries, as the Heat's Bam Adebayo was forced to sit out the second half due to a left foot injury. The Nuggets' dominance on the boards, outrebounding the Heat 68-44, proved to be a significant factor in the outcome.
