Nuggets on brink of first NBA finals after in-form Murray mauls Lakers again

• Nuggets beats Lakers 119-108 for commanding 3-0 series lead
• Jamal Murray scores 30 of game-high 37 points in first half

Nikola Jokic was far from his usual dominant self while mired in foul trouble, and Jamal Murray cooled off after his scorching first half. The Denver Nuggets' big early lead disappeared entirely in the fourth quarter of Game 3, and the Lakers' home crowd was in a frenzy.

The Nuggets weathered every setback and calmly, methodically took control with a poise worthy of champions.
