Nikola Jokic has triple-double, Jamal Murray scores 26 in Nuggets' NBA Finals Game 1 win over Heat - ESPN

espn.com

DENVER — Hours before Thursday's Game 1, coach Michael Malone gave the Denver Nuggets a pop quiz at the team's morning shootaround.

Malone wanted to make sure his team, coming off a nine-day break, was locked in and ready. With Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray leading the way, the Nuggets passed their first NBA Finals test, taking the opening game from the Miami Heat, 104-93, before a sold-out crowd that had been waiting for this moment at Ball Arena.

Despite taking just five shots through the first three quarters, Jokic continued his unstoppable triple-double tear through this postseason.

He joined Jason Kidd as the only players to make their NBA Finals debut with a triple-double, finishing with 27 points, 14 assists and 10 rebounds.
