It was the first time any team in a Finals had two players making triple-doubles in the same game.
NIKOLA JOKIC AND Jamal Murray dominated the Miami Heat, both making triple-doubles as the Denver Nuggets took a 2-1 lead in the NBA Finals with a 109-94 win in game three on Wednesday.
It was the first time any team in a Finals had two players making triple-doubles in the same game — and the first time in any NBA game, regular season or playoffs, that two teammates posted 30-point triple-doubles. “Regarding Nikola, nothing he does surprises me, ever. This guy has shown time and time again that he’s built for these moments. He thrives in these moments, the biggest stage and he did that once again tonight,” he said.“I’m really proud of Jamal and I could tell being around him the last 48 hours he was putting a lot of game two on him. And it wasn’t just him, it was me and every one of our players. But that’s what champions do. That’s what warriors do, they battle back,” he said.
But the Heat struggled to contain Murray, who put up 20 points in the first half, while Jokic almost had a triple double by half-time — the giant Serbian claiming 14 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists in the opening two quarters.
