As almost everyone expected, the Denver Nuggets were able to take Game 3 in the NBA Finals. Nikola Jokic became the 1st player in NBA history to record 30+ points, 20+ rebounds and 10+ assists in 1 NBA Finals game! Jimmy Butler had 28 points, but the Heat got beaten mainly in the paint. The Heat made it a 9 point deficit with 1:22 left in the 4th, but it wasn't too-little too-late, and the Nuggets were able to hang on. Jamal Murray had 34 points, outdouing Jokic who had 32. Murray had a triple-double, along side Jokic who also racked up a triple-double. He has 2 in the finals now, as he also had one in the Game 1 victory. Jamal Murray caught fire early to get the Nuggets going, and they never looked back.
