The NBA Finals can be a pressure-filled time for players, with most players never getting the chance to experience the thrill of competing for an NBA title in a seven-game series.
Veteran forward Kevin Love of the Miami Heat is one of the few players who has been in the Finals on multiple occasions and already has one title to his credit.
Coming into the Finals this time around, Love is playing for a team that only had just picked him up in the buyout market and had little chance of making it this far in the NBA playoffs.
Fortunately for Love, he picked the right team to sign with and now has a chance to win another title, but there has been another component to the stress that comes with playing in the postseason, as his wife has been pregnant and only just gave birth ahead of Game 5 via Nuggets reporter Jena Garcia.

With Love confirming everything went well with the birth of his child, the attention turns back to getting back into this series, as the Heat will be playing an elimination game on Monday night on the road in Denver.
With Ball Arena being one of the most challenging places to play in the NBA today, the odds are not in the Heat’s favor, but Miami can’t be counted out in this postseason, as they have defied the odds every step of the way and will try to get another win in the Mile High City to keep this series alive.
