MIAMI — The Miami Heat's marketing team might regret this one.
Fans who turned out for Game 4 at the Kaseya Center in Miami Friday night were given complimentary towels that stated the Heat's progress thus far in the NBA playoffs.
It lists all of the teams the Heat have faced -- the Milwaukee Bucks, the New York Knicks, the Boston Celtics and the Denver Nuggets.

Denver is the only team that hasn't been crossed out, of course. And with a 3-1 lead in the series, there's a good chance it will stay that way.
9NEWS' Scotty Gange summed it up pretty well. "These towels low-key feel like a self-burn by the Heat...Right?"
If the Nuggets do clinch the series, these towels are sure to be highly sought-after collector's items among Denver basketball fans who want a novel way of commemorating the occasion. Which is surely not what the Heat brass had in mind.
"Odd to design and hand out tens of thousands of towels memorializing almost winning the title. #BringItIn," tweeted 9NEWS' Marshall Zelinger.
If the Nuggets win the title, one thing's for sure: more than a few of these towels are going to end up in the hands of Denver sports fans.
