MIAMI – The only thing coursing through the white-hot crowd was an artificial bass.With surgical passing and physical, hard-nosed play, the Nuggets seized control of the NBA Finals with a dominant 109-94 win in Game 3. Behind dueling 30-point triple-doubles from Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, Denver’s two franchise pillars, the Nuggets wrested homecourt advantage back from Miami after ceding it in Game 2.
“It speaks for itself, bro,” Murray said of Jokic’s dominance. “… We’re running out of things to say.” Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets scores over Bam Adebayo of the Miami Heat in the first quarter during Game 3 of the NBA Finals at the Casey Center in Miami on Wednesday, June 7, 2023. Quiet nights from Michael Porter Jr. and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope were immaterial. The Nuggets had corrected the lapses from Game 2 and responded. Their 58-33 edge on the glass was a microcosm of their dominance.
Jokic flashed his soft touch from the mid-range and then stepped outside and buried a 3-pointer from the wing. Always moving, rookie Christian Braun made himself invaluable with his savvy reads and baseline cuts. He even ripped the ball on one opportunity and took off for a dunk the other way. The lead eventually ballooned to 19, as Denver’s confidence, buoyed by its rowdy bench, rose. Jokic dissected the Heat’s defense for 12 in the quarter, and Denver carried an 82-68 lead into the fourth.
In the days since Denver’s Game 2 loss, the Nuggets re-grouped with a dinner at Jeff Green’s Miami home and then held a frank film session that spared nobody.
