The Denver Nuggets bounced back in Game 3 of the 2023 NBA Finals.
After losing Game 2 and ending their unbeaten run at home in this year’s NBA playoffs, the Nuggets were on a mission on Wednesday night.
Nikola Jokic once again demonstrated that he’s the best player in the world, and that the Nuggets are the best team in the league.
Jokic finished the night with 32 points, 21 rebounds, and 10 assists, becoming the first player in the Finals to record 30+ points, 20+ rebounds, and 10+ assists in a game.

He was already having a magical run during this postseason and as the days go by, Jokic only confirms he’s on a different level.
So much so that his performance overshadowed Jamal Murray’s triple-double.
Still, they became the first pair of teammates to record a triple-double in the same Finals game.
They carried the team and led them to the win alongside the surprising appearance of Christian Braun.
Jokic and Murray are playing at a different level right now, and the Heat realized they will have to work hard to stop these two.
Game 4 of this series is set for this Friday, with Jokic ready to show he’s that man again, taking another win from Miami.
The Nuggets let one slip at home, and they are locked in to win three consecutive matches to end this series.
They’ve been the best team in the league all season long, and now that the championship is on the line, Jokic has taken it to the next level.
