The Denver Nuggets are back in action tonight as they look to take a commanding 3-1 series lead over the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals. Denver is just two victories away from their first title in franchise history and stealing another game tonight in Miami would be a massive step in making that dream a reality.
It was an unreal performance by the likes of Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and even Christian Braun in Game 3 as the Nuggets played arguably one of the best, most exciting games in franchise history. Jokic and Murray both recorded a triple-double in the win, while Braun brought tremendous energy off the bench and sprung a fourth quarter run for Denver that helped them win the game.
Tonight, the Heat are sure to come out with a ton of energy as they look to even the series going back to Denver. A win tonight by Miami would definitely make the series more interesting and would make Game 5 a must-win game for the Nuggets. With a win tonight, the Nuggets could ease their worries and hopefully secure a title in front of their home fans Monday night at Ball Arena.
