Nikola Jokic · At his current pace, Nikola Jokić is making history every time he steps onto a basketball court. That was no different in Game 3 of the NBA Finals when the Denver Nuggets recaptured control of the series with the Joker’s 10th triple-double of a legendary postseason run. Jokić produced his typical output of difficult turnaround jumpers, using his strength to back down Kevin Love in the paint for a smooth baby hook and later beat the Miami Heat veteran with a foul-line fadeaway. Jokić mixed in several of his patented mind-bending passes, including wrapping one around Bam Adebayo to hit a cutting Christian Braun for a back door slam. The two-time MVP posted 32 points, 21 rebounds and 10 assists — the first 30-20-10 triple-double in Finals history — as the Nuggets secured a 109-94 victory on June 7, 2023 to take a 2-1 series lead. · State of Mint
