The Denver Nuggets are back in the driver's seat in the 2023 NBA Finals after walloping the Miami Heat Wednesday night down in South Beach, 109-94. As you might have already known — or guessed — it's the tandem of Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic which was the biggest thorn in the side of Jimmy Butler and the Heat, who could now slow down the two Denver stars. Such a stat line has almost become a regular occurrence for Jokic, with fans, experts, and even Jamal Murray running out of ways to paint just how incredible the Nuggets big has been in the playoffs. “We're running out of things to say,” Jamal Murray said about Jokic during postgame press conference following Denvers' win in Game 3, via Joel Rush of Forbes.com. The challenge now for Jamal Murray and the Nuggets is winning back-to-back games for the first time in this series.
