In Game 1 of the NBA Finals, the Nuggets were led by Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray to a commanding victory over the Heat.

In their first ever NBA Finals game, the Denver Nuggets dominated the Miami Heat with a score of 104-93 on their home court. Although both teams seemed nervous at the beginning, the Nuggets quickly settled in while the Heat struggled to do the same. Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic were the stars of the game, leading the Nuggets to a 17-point lead by halftime with their efficient offense. Murray scored 18 points in the first half and finished with 26 points, 10 assists, and six rebounds. Jokic focused on passing the ball to his teammates before attempting a field goal.
Despite the firearm incident involving JA Morant, the NBA has already made a decision according to Adam Silver, but they are waiting until the NBA Finals are finished. At halftime, Jokic had already achieved a double-double with 10 points and 10 assists. In the second half, he showcased his shooting skills and ended up with 27 points, 10 rebounds, and 14 assists, resulting in another triple-double for him this postseason.
In his recent seven playoff games, Jokic has achieved six triple-doubles. Additionally, the Heat appeared to struggle in guarding Aaron Gordon and Michael Porter Jr.
During the initial period.
The Miami team frequently changed their defensive strategy, resulting in advantageous situations for the Nuggets' forwards to take advantage of. Gordon performed well, scoring 14 points and achieving a 7-for-9 record in the first half, along with five rebounds.
In addition, Porter contributed 10 points and seven rebounds. Despite Miami's attempt to reduce the Nuggets' lead from 24 to nine in the second half, Denver recovered and secured a double-digit victory. Jimmy Butler, Miami's main player, had a poor performance, scoring only 13 points after making 6 out of 14 field goal attempts.
Max Strus and Caleb Martin had poor performances, with a total of only one successful shot out of 17 attempts. Strus was unable to make any of his 10 shots, nine of which were from three-point range. Despite being the best team in terms of three-point percentage in the playoffs, the Heat only managed to shoot 33.3% from beyond the arc.
They had a meager two free throws throughout the game. It is usually a bad sign when a team cannot make three-point shots or draw fouls. Bam Adebayo was the only starter who performed well, scoring 26 points, grabbing 13 rebounds, and providing five assists while making 13 of his 25 field goal attempts. Jimmy Butler's mindset for the NBA Finals was displayed on his shirt before Game 1.
Gabe Vincent scored 19 points by making 7 out of 14 shots, while Haywood Highsmith came off the bench and scored an unexpected 18 points by making 7 out of 10 shots.
He also showed good defensive skills, which will likely increase his chances of playing in the upcoming games of this series.
Kyle Lowry scored 11 points while playing as a substitute. The second game of the series will start in Denver at 8 p.m on Sunday. Access the FOX News app by clicking here.
