The Miami Heat just had no answer for the Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray show in Game 3 on Wednesday.
Jokic dropped 32 points, 21 rebounds and 10 assists, the first 30-20-10 game in NBA Finals history, as the Nuggets took a 2-1 series lead thanks to a 109-94 win.
Miami went into halftime trailing 53-48, keeping the game state close thanks to Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo reaching double-digit scoring figures. Caleb Martin also chipped in eight points in 16 minutes off the bench after struggling mightily the first two games, but Gabe Vincent couldn't make an impact of his own due to three tacky fouls going against him.
Butler led Miami with 28 points on 11-for-24 shooting while Adebayo added 22 points and 17 rebounds on 7-for-21 shooting. Vincent went 2-for-10 overall for seven points in 32 minutes while Max Strus struggled, too, going 1-for-7 overall for three points in 24 minutes. “It speaks to Christian’s confidence," Malone said."It speaks to him being a winner…he just has stayed ready throughout the year…That kid never gets too high or too low. I could just feel the confidence oozing off of him.”
