Magic Johnson Reacts After Miami Heat Win Game 2

Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson sent out five tweets after the Miami Heat won Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

On Sunday evening, the Miami Heat won Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Denver Nuggets by a score of 111-108 (on the road at Ball Arena in Colorado). 

The Heat were able to make a significant comeback in the second half, as they won the fourth quarter by 11 points (36-25). 

After the game, Hall of Famer (and Los Angeles Lakers legend) Magic Johnson sent out five tweets (on Monday afternoon). 

Johnson's first tweet: "Heat coach Erik Spoelstra made some great adjustments in Game 2 and contained the Nuggets role players who had a big impact on defense in Denver's Game 1 victory!"

Johnson's second tweet: "The Heat took advantage of their own quickness. They drove the ball and kicked it out for wide open threes that they missed in Game 1 but made last night in Game 2."

Johnson's third tweet: "There were a few unsung heroes for the Miami Heat. Bam Adebayo had 21 points and was the trigger man on offense who set picks and made passes. Vincent finished with 23 points, Strus 14 points, and Duncan Robinson added 10 points off the bench."

Johnson's fourth tweet: "Let's give a lot of love to Kevin Love who made a nice contribution."

Johnson's fifth tweet: "The Miami Heat exploited the bigger and slower Denver Nuggets and controlled the tempo of the game."

Johnson continues to be very active on Twitter during the NBA Playoffs, regularly sharing his opinions with fans after games. 

The Heat have now tied up the series at 1-1 and Games 3 and 4 will be in Miami on Wednesday and Friday. 

Nikola Jokic had a game-high 41 points, while Gabe Vincent led the Heat with 23.
