Follow| Archive The Denver Nuggets entered the NBA Finals as a heavy favourite at FanDuel. They didn’t disappoint in Game 1.
Nikola Jokic recorded 27 points, 14 assists and 10 rebounds as the Nuggets beat the Miami Heat 104-93 in their first NBA Finals game in franchise history.
It was the ninth triple-double this postseason for Jokic, extending his NBA single-postseason record. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Jokic is only the second player in NBA history to lead both teams outright in both points and assists in a finals debut.
The only other player in NBA history to do that? Michael Jordan in 1991. After a decisive win and cover in Game 1, we now turn the page to Game 2 on Sunday night.
