Again with Jokic's performance. Even though they just played last night, they still have the energy to battle with a team like the Warriors.
I don't expect them to win and they didn't, but that kind of performance is worthy for a big applause.
He almost hit another triple double despite resting for longer minutes in the 3rd which had been the crucial part of the game. It sounds exaggerated but it proves the Nuggets are nothing without him because they just let the lead be gone while he is sitting.
Not sure what's the plan of coach Malone letting Gordon and Jokic sits for almost the whole 3rd quarter,
Even the lead already been cut and Curry showcasing his talent outside the Nuggets just let that lead blown away, good for boogey
though but not a good result for this game, coming in the last quarter Jokic commits most if not all of those important mistakes
but he still have that magnificient stats almost another triple double for the running back to back MVP.
Just one shy of assist for another triple double game. For now, I cannot say that he would win the MVP because there are other players who were very consistent from the very start, Jokic just recently had great stats because Nuggets were struggling early.
