Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:47:20 GMT

MIAMI – The only thing coursing through the white-hot crowd was an artificial bass.The Nuggets stormed into South Beach and stomped the life out of the crowd on Wednesday night.With surgical passing and physical, hard-nosed play, the Nuggets seized control of the NBA Finals with a dominant 109-94 win in Game 3. Behind dueling 30-point triple-doubles from Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, Denver’s two franchise pillars, the Nuggets wrested homecourt advantage back from Miami after ceding it in Game 2.Up 2-1 in the series, they can get greedy come Friday’s Game 4. Even though Duncan Robinson connected on a couple late 3-pointers, most Heat fans who’d left with more than three minutes remaining weren’t there to see them.After the Heat believed they’d found something defensively for Jokic, the two-time MVP systematically destroyed their defense for a 32-point, 21-rebound, 10-assist triple-double. It was ruthless and relentless, and the type of performance that can help carve a legacy. Joki...

It was the same poster that hung inside Jokic’s locker room stall, which sat two down from Jamal Murray, who had a quote from Bruce Lee taped to the side of his gray wall.“Knowing is not enough,” Murray’s read. “We must apply.
