Nuggets dominate with historic triple-doubles while Heat struggle with lack of effort.

TL;DR Summary
The Denver Nuggets took a 2-1 lead in the NBA Finals after a dominant performance from Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, who became the first teammates to notch 30-point triple doubles in the same game. Miami Heat's Jimmy Butler and Erik Spoelstra acknowledged that the Nuggets were just too good, but also pointed out a lack of effort and losing out on loose balls and 50-50 opportunities. The Heat must find a way to guard both Jokic and Murray if they want to avoid a 3-1 deficit heading back to Denver.
