On the NBA Final podcast with Jeremiah:
#1 The Denver Nuggets Nikola Jokic got a triple double in his first career final and the Nuggets Jamal Murray scored 26 points. With Jokic and Murray provided the offense could this set the tone for this series?
#2 Jokic scored 27 points, 14 rebounds, and ten assists it’s been 47 long years for the Nuggets to make the finals and their finally here.
#3 The Heat who lost by nine points saw Bam Adedayo lead with 26 points, Gabe Vincent 19 points, and Haywood Highsmith with 18 points great shooting but it just wasn’t enough to keep up with the Nuggets.
#4 The Nuggets trailed for 34 total seconds in the contest and topped off with a 24 point lead. The Nuggets also had Aaron Gordon contribute with 16 points and Michael Porter Jr 14 points. They can rely on other players to contribute other than just Jokic and Murray.
#5 Nuggets up 1-0 and game 2 is slated on Sunday at Ball Arena, Jeremiah after watching game 1 did the thin air play a part in the Heat trying to keep up. They’ll have three days to get acclimated for game 2 if that was the case.
