Caleb Martin and Max Strus of the Miami Heat had short responses after blowout loss

The Heat left the court with their tails in between their legs after a crushing loss at the hands of the Denver Nuggets in a game where the Heat failed to get any kind of consistent offense going.

The Nuggets went on to win the game 108-95 and go back to Denver having taken both games at Miami's home court. The Nuggets will get a chance to close out the series in front of their home fans in game 5 on Monday as they seek to bring the city its' first NBA championship.

The Heat role players, Caleb Martin and Max Strus, were naturally devastated and distraught after a tough loss in a game that felt out-of-reach for the majority of the time.

Martin tried to remain optimistic, eluding to Boston's comeback against his own team in the Eastern Conference Finals

Boston getting three wins in a row, that showed us it's just as possible and that's the beauty of it. We get another game.

His teammate Max Strus tried to forget about his poor outing as fast as possible and look forward to the next game in Denver

Sitting here and talking about it is not gonna do anything, we have to toughen up and bounce back and look towards the next opportunity.

The Heat will have a monumental task in front of them and will need a bounce-back game from their role players in order to pull off the upset at Ball Arena on Monday to give themselves a fighting chance in this series.
