Jamal Murray's Top Assists of the 2023 #NBAFinals So Far! | Presented by @youtubetv

Gordon, very aggressive, gets another one to go, and Gordon with six early points. Caldwell-Polk throws it back, deflects right back to him, and Murray sets it up. Gordon again, aggressively goes right into the paint, scores again. Aaron Gordon's got four field goals already, we've played just over five minutes. And it's a six-point Miami deficit after they trail by 12. Michael Porter, almost got a piece of it, and Porter with the left hand. That bowl arena in Denver, they do have a foul to give. Nice pass from Murray, Jokic flips it up and in. These Nugget fans loving it. Waiting all these years for their first finals. I'm still looking for a mentor from this crew. Murray. Up top, Jokic, shot clock winding down, knocks down the three. Murray attacking, drawing that second defender, and with the late pass, Jokic shuts a weapon from the three-point line. Butler, can't get it to go. Tipped by Adebayo, tries to get it to Vincent, but he throws it to Murray. They had a five on four the whole possession. Caldwell-Polk for three, external. He's going away from the basket. Porter, to me, that needs to be a stunt and close to give no airspace to Martin. Porter, no hesitation, drills the jumper. He's got 14. Jokic calling for it. He's got Duncan Robinson on him, Lowry lurking behind. Brown sets, fires, and hits. Second three for Brown. On the night they've struggled shooting all night long, they keep fighting back, trying to stay in this one. Jokic, soft touch is good. See how he throws Bam because of the ability to pass if Bam closes out to him? Jokic again, falling away. Got him again. Back-to-back buckets by Jokic, and it's back up to 14. Number 24, Vincent drives on Caldwell-Polk. Struggles a bit, now fires away. Vincent thought he got hit. Here comes Murray racing up the floor. Caldwell-Polk, a three-pointer. And that's why you have to guard against making mistakes off of shooters after a bad game. You've got to make sure they continue to think about it. They gifted him shots, as Jokic makes the mid-ranger. Again, as Lisa Saunders reported to Todd Martin. Questionable for the game. They've been feeling sick the last couple of days. Jokic running, just kind of flipped it up, but got the soft bounce. Lowry, beautiful pass. Well defended by Gordon, rushed by Martin. Love gets it back, goes inside. The chip misses as well. Paul, goes to Murray. Murray, to Brown, and the shot. Well, terrific push by Murray, and an outstanding cut by Christian Brown. And finish. He is really, after some really, really hard struggles over the last couple weeks in the playoffs. Murray, Jokic, passed on a three, now puts it up, knocks it down. His second three-pointer, and he's shooting 47% from three in the playoffs. Now it's the Heat, a seven-point advantage. Murray, inside, Jokic turns and scores. Murray, oh, nice fake. Drive back to Jokic, lays it up and in. And a quick timeout call by Eric Spolschuk. Oh, the Miami Heat with a fantastic fourth quarter. Jamal Murray, though, trying to keep Denver's hopes alive. Another big performance from Nikola Jokic. Murray, using the screen, four of the 24. Cross-court Gordon. Gordon tries a three-pointer. Got it. Murray, looking. Had to buy one in for Jokic. Vincent all over him. Jokic, layup shot, rolled around and dropped through. Murray's taken more than half their shots so far. Seven of the 13 field goal attempts. Jokic, just inside the foul line, gets his second field goal. Murray gets the handoff. Murray back to Jokic. One step, flips it up and in. And Jokic with six points. 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. Murray chased by Caleb Martin. Green backing in against Lowry. A couple of veterans going at each other. And Green using his height to his advantage. Awkward toss or jump. And Jokic came up with it. Murray drives. Speed inside for Gordon. What a beautiful pass. And Eric Schmolzer wants timeout. First double-digit lead of the night as the Nuggets go up by 11. That could have been assists that were misses here. Beautiful baseline drop-off bounce pass to Aaron Gordon. Struis now five assists. Butler's got 18 points. Jokic fakes, drives, scoop layup is good. Shot clock at eight. Had a Bios on Murray. Vinson is guarding Jokic. Gets the ball, drives the lane, throws it up. Soft touch once again rolls in. 21 for Jimmy Butler. Jokic with a three-pointer. His first three-pointer. Now with 25. 16-point lead. Still plenty of time remaining. And a Bio double-teaming. Murray finds Brown. Brown gets inside. Count it and one. Christian Brown continues his spectacular game off the bench. 12 points in 17 minutes. Slicing and cutting. Putting himself in position to catch and finish. Well, the one three he took hit the side of the backboard. This is just smart. Play into your strengths. Murray back up. Jokic fakes, spins the pirouette. And the bucket is good. 32 points, 20 rebounds, 10 assists. All right, again at 25. Opening minutes. Gordon hits another three. They're much more physical keeping the ball out of the paint and on the shot blocking out. Jokic from way downtown. Butler, great defense forcing Murray to pass. Eater really putting pressure on Jamal Murray. He's two for five so far. High speed inside. Porter cuts. Murray's had 10 assists in all three of these finals games. Well, this is really good. Lowry's cheating up to give support to Murray. Maybe it's because the ball was in the frontcourt. Jokic knocks down the three. Struess and Vincent scoreless the starting backcourt in the first half. Murray double teamed by Love. Back to Porter. Lays it up and in. Not fighting over screens like we saw earlier. That's where the game will change for them. Yeah, they started really well defensively, Mark, because Jokic gets a clean look. Nails it. Jokic coming alive now. Murray gets it back. Double teamed. Jokic all the time in the world answers with another three. That's his third three-pointer. Just barely over the top. And then previously, no rotation to the body. Jamal Murray just stretches the defense, takes a double team, sacrifices himself, and leaves Jokic all by himself at the top of key. Ball pressure of Miami is extended, and it's been really, really impactful. Murray trying to get on track. Bruce Brown launches a three. That's good. Bruce Brown double figures with 10 points off the bed. Robinson on Murray. Four to shoot. Murray gets away. Kicks it out. Gordon. Corner three. Puts it in. Aaron Gordon with a three-pointer. Denver Nuggets trying to take control of these NBA finals. Aaron Gordon putting them in good position. Twenty-five points for Gordon. Three for three from downtown. Got to get in their offense quicker. Murray to drive. Throws it up for Gordon. Catches. And fake layup is good. Aaron Gordon, so many big buckets. Defense throughout the course of this series and previous series, but offensively he has put his foot on the gas pedal and played an aggressive ball game for the Nuggets. How he's improved so dramatically with this finishing game off the dribble. Murray kicks it out of the corner. Jeff Green knocks down a three. The veteran Green with a big bucket, and it's back up to nine. Butler against Caldwell-Polk. Stripped by Caldwell-Polk. Butler gets it back. Caldwell-Polk grabs it, knocks it loose. Here comes Gordon to Murray. Inside. Bruce Brown lays it up and in. And it's a nine-point lead. The initial deflection. Then the second one where he strips it. And then the nicely executed three-on-one. The touch pass.
