'Regarding Nikola, nothing he does surprises me… Jamal is a guy that thrives, lives and excels in the moment.” Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray became the first teammates in NBA history to both record 30+ point triple-doubles in the same game. NBAFinals
Denver Nuggets coach Michael Malone has viewed a lot of top-notch performances from the club’s star tandem of Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray.“By far their greatest performance as a duo in their seven years together,” Malone said.
The Serbian center owns three of the 30-20-10 performances in NBA postseason history. The only two others came from Hall of Famers Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. “Jamal is a guy that thrives, lives and excels in the moment. Never afraid of it and you can’t say that for a lot of players. … Jamal missed our last two postseasons . He’s been dying to get back to this setting and just go out there and put on the performance that he’s putting on.”
The Nuggets also drew key contributions from rookie Christian Braun, who scored 15 points on 7-of-8 shooting off the bench; and Aaron Gordon, who had 11 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists.
