Nikola Jokić showed up and showed out in Game 3. Unlike the previous contest, where he did pour in 43 points, Jokić did not affect the game in the myriad of ways he does on the offensive game. That was not the case Wednesday night as Jokić did put in 32 points but he also pulled in 21 rebounds and dished out ten assists, becoming the first player to turn in a 30+point, 20+rebounds and 10+ assists in a NBF Finals Game. Rookie Christian Braun turned in a strong game as the rookie out Kansas connected on 7 of his 8 field goal attempts in scoring 15 points off the Denver bench.
