Jamal Murray

With the NBA Finals tied at one game apiece, it was the perfect time for Jamal Murray to bust out his Nikola Jokić impression. After the Miami Heat stole Game 2 in Denver, a refocused Nuggets team arrived in South Beach ready to make history in a crucial Game 3. In one of the best all-around performances of his career, Murray was clearly in the zone when he beat both Kyle Lowry and Bam Adebayo on a drive to the basket, finishing with a high-arcing finger roll off the glass. Murray posted 34 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists as he and Jokić became the first teammates in NBA history to each produce 30-point triple-doubles in the same game. It was the second career triple-double for Murray — both during the 2022-23 season — as he led the Nuggets to a convincing 109-94 victory on June 7, 2023 to take a 2-1 series lead.
