#1 NUGGETS at #8 HEAT | FULL GAME 3 HIGHLIGHTS | June 7, 2023

And the same thing here in game three. Files back here, first time the crowd been able to see a finals game since 2014. Miami Heat, they won their first six home games in these playoffs, but they lost their last two at a bio. Oh, fancy move for a bio off the glass. Here's Jokic, back up top to Murray. Murray the drive, bats it home. He has been spectacular throughout these playoffs. He said he has to be more aggressive tonight. Butler drives. Jokic guarded by Butler. Jokic backs in. It's too big and too strong. Well, they switched the pick and roll with Butler and Adebayo. From way behind the three-point line, pursued the ball exceptionally well. Struce fires a pass in the corner. Gabe Vincent connects. Again, Murray so aggressive here to start. Pass inside. Jokic finds its way to Porter. Porter's shot is good. What a typical shot. Jokic calling for the ball against Kevin Love. Spins, flips it up and in. That's a great job sprinting the floor and sailing, getting real estate in the middle of the pitch. Very interesting right now. Usually, Murray has come out by this time. Still in with Jokic. And Jokic rattles in another one. He's five of seven from the field. I like this going back to Butler against smaller guys in the post. Rookie Brown on him. Butler turns, shoots and scores. Zeller had held his ground and stood up. It would not have been called. Butler from the baseline. Jimmy Butler feeling it here in the first quarter. Lowry's got five to shoot. Green on him. On an island. Lowry dribbles, spins, falling away. It's up, it's good. Adebayo just couldn't quite get his hand on it to control it. As Bruce Brown launches a three-pointer. That's good. First three-pointer for Denver. They were 0-5. A role he has embraced. Caleb Martin, nice fake. Euro steps off. Gorgeous feed. Adebayo open for the slam. I like most about that. Turned down a three-point shot and made a play attacking towards the paint. Miami's physicality is having an impact here as they go into the zone. Jokic, the feed. Christian Brown throws it down. Martin, nobody near him. And Martin drills a three. That's what Michael Malone calls crazy. Three points in game one. Just three points in game two. What a factor here. Look at Lowry. Here comes Martin. Goes to the basket. Layup, it's good. Jokic double. Pass inside to Green. Clock at two. Murray. Murray from downtown. Adebayo really works hard trying to push Jokic out. He fronts him some, then plays behind. Really good job. Butler answers. You know, Eric Sparks was saying before the game. Lowry. Fake to shoot to Butler. Murray picks him up on the switch. Martin cuts backdoor. Up and under. He was sitting on that one. The bam slam. I like it. You're right. Jokic double-team. Murray fires away. Connects on a three. Gordon drives and finishes. Aaron Gordon. Hey, Mike. Well, I talked to heat assistant Chris Quinn, who said they allowed the Nuggets to get into the paint too easily in that first half. He said we have to do a better job protecting the paint. Continue with multiple efforts on closeouts. Jokic left open. Now Adebayo comes out. Jokic throws it up. And Gordon kind of tips it in with his fingertips. Another beautiful pass from Jokic. Awkward toss. Or jump. And Jokic came up with it. Murray drives. Speed inside for Gordon. What a beautiful pass. And Eric Sposer wants timeout. First double-digit lead of the night. As the Nuggets go up by 11. Murray gets away from Vincent. Bad pass. Jokic thought it was coming earlier. Butler goes down inside. Lays it up and in. Struis now five assists. Butler's got 18 points. Jokic fakes. Drives. Scoop layup is good. More opportunities Jokic is going to have to pick, pop, shoot the three, and drive. Adebayo sets the screen. Then takes the jumper and finishes off the play. Jokic spinning. Love picks him up. Off one foot. That's good. Eric Sposer was saving. Even on these wild shots, he expects it to go in. Murray drives on Butler. Turns. Fires. Misses. Gets his own rebound again. And lays it up and in. Great second effort from Jamal. By the way, Murray keeps fletching that hand. Butler drives out to Kevin Love. Three-pointer. That's good. Second bucket for Kevin Love. It's back to eight. Shot clock at eight. Adebayo's on Murray. Vincent is guarding Jokic. Gets the ball. Drives the lane. Throws it up. Soft touch. Once again rolls in. Six to shoot. Murray step back. Three-pointer. Rebound. Three-pointer. Shot blocked. Struce with the rejection. Porter tries again. Gordon's tip is good. Relentless on the boards. We saw it in game one of this series. The size of Denver making a huge impact. Butler answers right back. 21 for Jimmy Butler. Jokic with a three-pointer. His first three-pointer. Now with 25. There's no doubt about it. And it's the same with Miami. Everybody knows it's Butler and Adebayo. Right on cue. A baseline jumper. 23 for Butler. Gordon. Inside. Brown. Yes. Christian Brown again. He's got six points off the bench. Jokic dominating once again. Caldwell-Polk jump shot is good. It's a 16-point lead for Denver. The crowd has grown quiet. And they're exposed to Juan's timeout. You see the adjustment by the Nuggets. Normally we see Jokic at the foul line. Looking to catch the basketball. They put him away. A new look. And then he makes the play from the block. How about that cut. Christian Brown off the bench. Eight points in 13 minutes. Brown with a steal. Ahead of the pack. Throws it down. Christian Brown. Out of the rotation in game four of the Western Conference Finals. Coming back and playing exceptionally well. A rookie from Kansas. Duncan Robinson with an answer. Expect the Nuggets to switch every screen and roll action. One through five. That's what Michael Malone is telling them. Butler drives. Butler finishes with 1.4 remaining. He's got 26. He's been talking about that last couple of days. The fourth quarter rolls. Murray though. Knocks that down. 24 for Murray. And it's back up to 14. Christian Brown to Jokic. And Jokic puts it up and in. Now 28 points with 19 rebounds. And nine assists. Lowry double-teamed. Oh, what a stop shot. Two defenders are on him and Lowry banks it home. 16-point lead. Still plenty of time remaining. Adebayo double-teaming. Murray finds Brown. Brown gets inside. Count it and one. Christian Brown continues his spectacular game off the bench. Gabe Vinson to drive. Sneaks inside. Can't get it. Adebayo's follow wouldn't go. Brown racing up the floor. Goes right at Butler. Leads in. Jump shot is good. It's the Christian Brown show here in the fourth quarter. Butler drives. Banks shot. Missed it. Adebayo tips it. Gets it again. Puts it up and puts it in. Great second and third effort from Adebayo. You've got to keep going. Very stagnant right here. There's a lot of time left for a team that loves to have big comebacks. Murray jump shot is good. Big bucket for Murray. Butler posting up Bruce Brown. Hits it back out to Vinson. Vinson off the glass. Backs it home. You've got to mind the heat though. You've got to get stopped. Murray back up. Jokic fakes. Spins. The pirouette. And the bucket is good. 32 points. 20 rebounds. 10 assists. A masterpiece from Nikola Jokic. He is a, and Eric Spoelstra has referenced this a number of times, he's a great competitor. Murray high off the glass. Little circus shot from Jamal Murray. Stale one is just you doing all the talking. Free throws were good from Murray. Murray a 30 point game. Duncan Robinson knocked down a couple of threes. Murray just got his rebound. So they have two 30 point triple doubles here in game three for the Nuggets. What an answer after the disappointing loss in game two at home. The Denver Nuggets win their fourth straight road game in these playoffs.
