Denver Nuggets coach Michael Malone has viewed a lot of top-notch performances from the club's star tandem of Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray.
"By far their greatest performance as a duo in their seven years together," Malone said.
Murray scored a game-high 34 points to go with 10 rebounds and 10 assists for the Nuggets, who controlled the contest. And as Malone correctly pointed out, it is the first time two players on the same team have scored 30 points during a triple-double in NBA history. Jimmy Butler scored 28 points and Bam Adebayo added 22 points and 17 rebounds for the Heat, who trailed by as many as 21 points.Game 4 is Friday night at Miami.
Denver shot 51.2 percent from the field but was just 5 of 18 from 3-point range. The Nuggets had a 58-33 rebounding advantage and a 60-34 edge in points in the paint. After leading by five at halftime, the Nuggets scored the first six points of the second half on a Jokic hoop and back-to-back baskets by Gordon to take a 59-48 lead.
