The Miami Heat recently scored a very important Game 2 win over the Denver Nuggets.
It was an impressive victory made all the more astonishing because it was secured on the road in Colorado.
There were several stars who helped the Heat score the win and Gabe Vincent was one of them.
He scored 23 points in Game 2, including 4-of-6 from beyond the three-point line.
This was just the latest great game from Vincent in the Finals.
So far, he is scoring 21 points per game and 4.5 three-pointers.
According to StatMuse, he is leading the Finals in three-pointers made and is helping keep his team’s hopes alive.

This was Vincent’s best season yet, even before this strong showing in the Finals.
He scored 9.4 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game.
He started in the most games of his career and helped the team begin its remarkable and unexpected postseason push that continues now.
Vincent’s rise to this level has been remarkable in its own right.
He was left undrafted in the 2018 NBA Draft and instead signed with the G League team the Stockton Kings, where he averaged 8.8 points in 18 minutes per game.
A couple of years later, the Heat signed Vincent to a two-way contract and he made his debut in January of 2020.
Now, just days ago, Vincent secured a team-high 23 points for the Heat in Game 2.
The power of Vincent reminds fans that this Miami roster is very deep.
Although Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo will always receive the most attention, the team is only successful because of strong role players like Vincent and others.
