Records night for Jokic and Murray.

Nikola Jokic has become the 1st ever NBA player to score at least 30 points, to have at least 20 boards and to give at least 10 assists in the NBA postseason as the Denver Nuggets defeat the Miami Heat 109-94 at Kaseya Center in Miami, FL and took 2-1 series lead.

Nikola Jokic finished with 32 points, 21 rebounds and 10 assists as Jamal Murray grabbed a rebound in the last seconds of the match to had also a triple-double – the 1st ever teammates with a triple-double each in the NBA playoffs.

Jimmy Butler notched 28 points and Bam Adebayo helped with 22 points and 17 rebounds for Miami, but the Floridian franchise lost the home-court advantage.
