Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray became the first team-mates to record a 30-point triple-double in the same game let alone a playoff game – as the Denver Nuggets dominated the Miami Heat 109-94 to take a 2-1 series lead in the NBA Finals.
Jokic scored 32 points, becoming the first player to record 30 points, 20 rebounds and 10 assists in the Finals.
Murray finished with 34 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists to complete his own triple-double in the final seconds.
Heat stars Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo played well but could not slow the Nuggets’ rampage.
Butler closed with 28 points and Bam Adebayo chipped in 22 points and 17 rebounds for the Heat, who now face a possible must-win game in Game 4.
The best-of-seven series resumes Friday at Kaseya Center in Miami.
