Miami "made history," Bam Adebayo said, but not in a good way. The Heat only had two free throw attempts in their Game 1 loss to the Nuggets, setting a record for the fewest free throw attempts for a team in the NBA Finals. None of the Heat starting five made it to the free throw line. Haywood Highsmith made two free throws off the bench. The Denve...

Aaron Gordon exemplified the ...
