Nikola Jokic is doing things in the NBA playoffs nobody has ever done. That continued in Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the Denver Nuggets and Miami Heat.
The two-time MVP became the first player in NBA history to finish a Finals game with at least 30 points, 20 rebounds and 10 assists, finishing Wednesday's game with 32 points on 12-of-21 shooting, 21 rebounds , 10 assists and two blocks in. Once again, Jokic was a driving force in a victory that put the Nuggets two wins away from their first NBA championship.
"To be honest, not much," Jokic said, when asked how much the stat meant to him in his postgame interview."I'm just glad we won a game." It was also only the fifth time a player had posted a 30-20-10 game in the playoffs at all. The other four games belong to the incredible club of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Wilt Chamberlain and Jokic .
