"Behind another dominant performance from three-time MVP Nikola Jokic, the Denver Nuggets slammed the door on the Miami Heat Wednesday evening with a 122-112 win inside Ball Arena in Denver, Colo. Jokic tallied his fifth triple-double of the season, dropping an absurd 33-point, 15-rebound, 16-assist statline across 37 minutes, shooting 12-of-18 from the floor and 2-of-5 from 3-point range. Denver completely undressed Miami on the glass,"
"As a wise man once said: No rebounds, no rings. Rebounding wins championships, and the Heat's rebounding effort was excruciatingly bad in Wednesday's loss. Norman Powell led the way with 23 points on 5-of-15 shooting and 4-of-8 from 3-point range. Andrew Wiggins tallied 22 points on 9-of-13 shooting with four rebounds and five assists. Jaime Jaquez Jr. was one of Miami's bright spots off the bench once again, tallying 21 points on 9-of-14 shooting; Kel'el Ware had 13 points, 13 rebounds and four steals as well."
