Nikola Jokic has praised his Denver Nuggets teammate Aaron Gordon after the win over the Miami Heat.
The Nuggets claimed a 104-93 in Game One of the NBA Finals on Thursday night. Game Two of the series takes place at the Ball Arena on Sunday evening.
Jokic recorded a historic triple-double in the win over the Heat, scoring 27 points with 10 rebounds and 14 assists. In doing so he became the second player in NBA history to record a triple-double on their Finals debut, following Jason Kidd for the New Jersey Nets in 2002 against the Los Angeles Lakers.
