If NBA fans didn’t know just how great the Nikola Jokic-Jamal Murray duo is, they sure do now.
The Nuggets stars became the first teammate in NBA history to record 30-point triple-doubles in the same game in Denver’sThe two-time NBA MVP Jokic put up a historic 32-point, 21-rebound, 10-assist stat line, while Murray, the former Kentucky Wildcat, had posted a 34-10-10 effort.
“For those guys to make history the way they did tonight, no one has ever done that. That’s what’s really neat about it, you get the win.”Nikola Jokic’s propensity for triple-doubles is spurring the Nuggets.While Jokic is known for putting up triple-doubles, Murray’s calling card has been scoring and not necessarily filling out the rest of the box score.
Murray joined Magic Johnson and Bob Cousy as the only players in league history to have 10 or more assists in three straight finals games — though Murray is the only player to do it in his first three NBA Finals games of his career.Jokic and Murray’s Game 3 effort may have been a precursor to how great this tandem can be, with the chance to rival even Lakers legends Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal for best NBA Finals duo of all time.
