Basketball

On May 14, the Nuggets lost to the Thunder 105-112 away, and Jokic scored 44+15+5+5 three-pointer in the playoffs, but he still lost to the Battle of Tianwangshan for the first time in his career. However, Jokic said after the game that he still believes that the Nuggets can win the series. After all, he has led the team to turn the tables 1-3 many times, and now the Nuggets are not that bad at 2-3.

Jokic has been restricted by the Thunder's defense in the past three games, and he has once again exploded in the Battle of Tianwang Mountain. Jokic played 44 minutes and 08 seconds and played the most in the game. He still made 17 of 25 shots in overload mode, especially 5 of 7 three-pointers on the outside, plus 5 of 5 free throws, and scored 44 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals.

Jokic set a record for the highest score in a single game this year, surpassing his 42 points in the first game of the Western Conference semi-finals, and Jokic grabbed 6 offensive rebounds and played very hard. In the final quarter, Jokic scored 13 points and scored 11 points in a row to keep the score. However, Jokic still had no choice but to join the empty-slashing group. He lost the game point for the first time in his seventh career battle in Tianwang Mountain.

It is worth mentioning that Jokic contributed at least 40+15+5+5 three-pointers in this game. He became the second person in NBA playoff history. Another person who can do it is his teammate Westbrook (45 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists and 5 three-pointers).

Jokic said that the loss in this game was disappointing, but he believed that the Nuggets could still win the series: "I mean, of course this will happen. Some people would say that we shouldn't have won the first game, but we won. There is a third game, and we didn't play well, but we won in the end. This is the playoffs, the series, and the situation is different in each game."
