Former UCSB basketball star Gabe Vincent has helped Miami even the series against the Denver Nuggets.

In game two of the NBA finals, Vincent scored 23 points, four three-pointers, and tallied three assists.

Vincent went undrafted in 2018 and signed with the Miami Heat in 2019 from the NBA G-League.

The guard has played 19 playoff games for the Heat this season and is expected to get a heafty contract after the season is over according to NBA experts.

The former Gaucho is averaging 13.1 ppg with 3.9 assists, shooting 39 percent from downtown.

He scored a career-high 29 points in game three of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Boston Celtics.

Should the Heat win, Vincent will become the first Gaucho to win a ring since Brian Shaw won three as a member of the Lakers in the 2000s.

Game three of the NBA Finals continues on Wednesday, June 7, at 5:30 p.m. on ABC.
