Nikola Jokic Remains In Beast Mode Against Warriors
3 years agoDenver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic produced 22 points, 18 rebounds, five assists, four steals and one block in Tuesday's 89-86 win over Golden State. Jokic registered his eighth turnover late in the game, which could've ended up being very costly, but he made up for it straight away with a block on Jonathan Kuminga's layup attempt that would've tied the game with just a second left in regulation. The Nuggets leader settled for 8-for-19 shooting this time around, missing all five attempts from deep. Jokic is finishing off 2021 in superb form and fell just two rebounds short of having a third consecutive 20-20 game. He'll see the Warriors again on Thursday before starting 2022 against Rudy Gobert and Utah. Jokic always seems to dominate against the Jazz and he could have a very special start to the new year.
