Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone can say that his team "played well in Game 1," but there was a lot to like from the West's top seed in taking a 1-0 NBA Finals lead over the Miami Heat.
Nikola Jokiu0107 had yet another playoff triple-double, exerting his force whenever and however he wanted, while Jamal Murray dished out a brilliant performance reminiscent of bubble Murray. The Nuggets' size advantage over the Heat could be a problem in Game 2, and the remainder of the series.
