Miami Heat's Max Strus Ready For Bounce Back In Game 2

Miami Heat guard Max Strus had a forgettable performance in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

His first chance for redemption is tonight's in Game 2 against the Denver Nuggets. Strus was 0 of 10 from the field in the series opener.

"Can't dwell on it," Strus said. "Luckily it was only Game 1, so we've got more to play. But I'm ready. I wanted to play right after the game was over. I'm not going to let that keep me down. I'm ready for the next game. Going to bring the same energy and effort and hopefully make some shots while I'm at it."

The Heat played arguably their worst game of the postseason, trailing by double-digits most of the way.

"I mean, it's the Finals," Strus said. "It's never as simple as it seems. It's a complex game. They're a good team. It's going to be tough to beat them. But we did see some things that we liked and we got some great looks, myself included. We've got to knock those down, and we've got great shooters on our team, and we will knock those down."
