Nikola Jokic’s magical postseason run continued on Wednesday night. With the NBA Finals tied at 1-1 heading into Game 3 in South Beach, the two-time Most Valuable Player took over to give the Nuggets the advantage on the road.
On the way to the Nuggets’ crucial 109-94 win over the Miami Heat in Game 3 of the NBA championship series, Jokic became the first player in NBA history to record a 30-point, 20-rebound, 10-assist game in the NBA Finals.
Jokic finished with another playoff triple-double with 32 points on 12-of-21 shooting from the field with 21 rebounds and 10 assists in 44 minutes against the Heat.
