The battle was a back and forth affair, with the Nuggets trailing 10-21 from the start and then rallying to take a 6-point lead at halftime. 

Quarter #3 was close until the last quarter. Miami opened with a 15-2 run with Duncan Robinson scoring 10 points from that run, plus the coolness of Jimmy Butler scoring 8 points in the final minutes. The victory therefore went to the visiting team, overshadowing the great form of Nikola Jokic who scored 41 points. 

“This is the NBA Finals, and we’re talking about excitement. That’s what worries me,” Malone said after the game. Kodma168
