They became the first set of teammates to post 25-point, 10-assist games in the NBA Finals since Magic Johnson and James Worthy first did it for the Lakers in 1987. The stat line of 27 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists paced the Nuggets, as did Jamal Murray who scored 26 points and had 10 assists. Nikola Jokic, Denver's two-time MVP, produced a masterful performance, a triple-double, in his NBA Finals debut. The Nuggets, who completed their sweep of the Los Angeles Lakers on May 22, were off for nine days before Thursday's Game 1 against the Miami Heat.
The Denver Nuggets opened the NBA Finals with a 104-93 win in the franchise's first appearance in the championship round.
