Jamal Murray and Skip Bayless
The Denver Nuggets made NBA Finals history in a memorable game that drived them to a 2-1 series lead against the Miami Heat. The remarkable performances of Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic proved too much for the Heat to handle, as they became the first duo ever to achieve a triple-double in the NBA Finals.
Game 3 saw Jokic establish himself as an unstoppable force, recording 32 points, 21 rebounds, and 10 assists. His performance marked the first 30-point, 20-rebound, 10-assist triple-double in NBA Finals history, leaving fans in awe of his versatility on the court. The Nuggets’ center controlled the entire game, showcasing his ability to dominate in all aspects of the game.
However, Jokic was not the sole contributor to the Nuggets’ victory. Jamal Murray once again displayed his clutch ability. Murray’s remarkable performance consisted of 34 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists, solidifying his status as a key player for the Nuggets. Skip Bayless, acknowledged Murray’s impact, stating, “Nobody on Miami can stop Jamal Murray, only Jamal can stop Jamal. Last night he came out with that look in his eye from jump.”
Throughout the game, Murray’s ability to hit crucial shots time and time again saved the Nuggets from potential trouble. His clutch shooting proved to be the difference-maker, as the Heat struggled to contain his offensive firepower. Bayless emphasized the importance of Murray’s contributions, stating, “If you don’t have him making clutch shot after shot, you’d be in a heap of trouble.”
Although the Heat displayed a comeback late in the game, trimming the Nuggets’ lead to as slim as nine points, their efforts were ultimately in vain. The final score of 109-94 may have appeared closer than it was due to Miami’s late surge, but the Nuggets’ dominance throughout the game could not be denied.
