The Denver Nuggets took a 2-1 lead over the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals on Wednesday night.
Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray led the Nuggets to victory with triple-doubles, and the team also used a spark off the bench from rookie Christian Braun to win the game.
As the series heads into Friday’s Game 4, some fans noticed what they believe to be a missed call from officials.

Heat guard Kyle Lowry appeared to trip Jokic to the floor near the end of the first half. Jokic fell hard to the floor, but no foul was called on the play. The incident occurred in the paint, in clear view for officials, but it was ignored.
Many fans commented during Game 3 on Jokic’s apparent “flopping,” but it doesn’t appear that he simulated anything on this play in particular, as Lowry clearly stuck his leg out in front of him and caused him to fall.
Jokic would end up getting the last laugh as the Nuggets took a 2-1 lead. Denver is now back in control of the series after dropping Game 2 at home, their first home loss of the playoffs.
Game 4 of the Finals is set for Friday night in Miami, and then the series will alternate between locations as needed for the final three games.
