Nuggets star delivers unprecedented NBA Finals stat line

Jokic did it all for the Nuggets in Game 3, finishing with 32 points, 21 rebounds and 10 assists in Denver's 109-94 win. Denver stole back home court advantage behind the Joker's monster effort, which included 12-of-21 shooting, two blocks and some feather-soft precision passes for easy baskets.

The Nuggets absolutely trounced the Heat on the boards Wednesday night, led by Jokic's 21 rebounds — just a dozen fewer than Miami's entire team. 

Aaron Gordon had 10 rebounds, as did Jamal Murray, whose own 30-point triple-double was overshadowed by his teammate.

Not only was this the first 30-20-10 in Finals history, it was only the fifth such game in NBA playoffs history. One was by Wilt Chamberlain.

Another was by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The other two? Also Jokic.

After the game, Lisa Salters asked Jokic what it meant to him make history like that.

"To be honest," a stoic Jokic said, "Not much."

The milestone may not matter, but the win means quite a lot to Jokic and the team.
