Will Barton came up big with two key 3-pointers during the last three minutes of the game to help preserve the Nuggets' lead. Jamal Murray came up big with 34 points to lead all scorers, while Nikola Jokic posted his fourth triple-double of the postseason with a 21-point, 12-rebound, 11-assist performance.
