Denver Relies on Role Players in Game 4 (108-95) to Reach Brink of 1st NBA Title

One more game for the Denver Nuggets… Game 4 brought a twist to the NBA Finals on Friday night in Miami. The Nuggets’ two superstars made history with 30-point triple-doubles in Game 3, but Game 4 was about the role players. Aaron Gordon (27) and Bruce Brown (21) combined for 48 points in a low-key night for Nikola Jokic (23) and Jamal Murray (15). Denver shot lights-out from 3 (50%), and held Miami under 100 points for the third time in the series. The Heat’s lack of offensive firepower appears to be the deciding factor while the Nuggets seem to get offense from anyone at any time. It’s back to altitude and the Rocky Mountains for Game 5 and a potential Finals-clinching trophy celebration tonight.
