With a minute left in a Game 4 that he had long since put to bed, Denver Nuggets reserve Bruce Brown saw the Miami Heat's Duncan Robinson in front him and dribbled into an isolation 3-pointer he had made just four times in his previous 2,770 minutes this season. This is how comfortable Denver is in these NBA Finals.
"When he did a step-back 3, I wanted to punch him," joked Nuggets star Nikola Jokic, whose foul trouble coincided with the customary Heat rally to open the fourth quarter,"but when he made it, I was so happy."
When asked about his 23 points, 12 rebounds, four assists, three steals and three blocks — numbers only ever matched in the Finals by LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Tim Duncan — Jokic scoffed at a statistical line that stands as a testament to how much we expect from the Serbian and he expects from himself.
Malone called for his bread and butter, only this time with Gordon serving as a small-ball screener in Jokic's role, handing off to a curling Murray for a 26-footer that pushed Denver's lead back to eight. Neither Murray nor Jokic scored over the game's final 8:25, and yet the Heat would climb no closer than six points again.
Gordon did the same in the second quarter, when he scored 15 of his 27 points, repeatedly punishing the Heat for leaving him open on the perimeter and for entrusting smaller defenders against him in the paint.
