On Wednesday night, the Denver Nuggets beat Miami 109- 94 in Game 3 and took a 2-1 series lead.
Nikola Jokic recorded his first 30-point, 20 rebound triple double in finals history, finishing with 32 points, 21 rebounds, and 10 assists. His teammate Jamal Murray notched his own triple- double by putting up 34 points, 10 assists, and 10 rebounds.
This is the first time in NBA history, regular season or playoffs that teammates had 30-point triple doubles.
Jokic is one of my favorite players in the league because of his leadership, shining in big moments and never giving up. Murray is one of my favorite point guards that have seen in a while. I like his leadership, determination, and toughness.
Christian Braun the 21st pick in 2022 NBA draft by Denver, played one of his best games that I seen in a while. The last time I him play well was when he was playing for the Kansas Jayhawks. Braun had his biggest game of the series with 15 points in 19 minutes off the bench.
If Denver wants to win the title they would need to:
- Jokic and Murray to play their games
- Rebound the basketball
- Create turnovers
- Have Christian Braun more involved in the games.
If Miami wants to win the title they would need to:
- Jimmy Butler to play his game
- Rebound the ball
- Not give up easy shots
- Get points off turnovers
Next Game: Friday June 9th Game 4 Nuggets @ Heat 8:30 pm on ABC
