On a new episode of the Miami Herald’s Heat Check podcast, Anthony Chiang and David Wilson look back at the Heat’s gutsy Game 7 win in Boston and look ahead at the Heat’s matchup against the Denver Nuggets in the NBA Finals.

How will the Heat defend Nuggets All-Star center Nikola Jokic? Who will Heat star Jimmy Butler defend and what does it mean for the Miami’s defensive plan? Can the Heat’s offense thrive in its matchup against the Nuggets’ defense?

Before the end of the episode, Chiang and Wilson take a quick look at the Florida Panthers’ chances of winning the Stanley Cup.
