Jokic’s legendary season comes to an end
The Denver Nuggets were way, way past their bedtime. The Golden State Warriors had the energy to pull an all-nighter.
It looked bad for the Nuggets—down five points with less than a minute left. Then, with four Warriors surrounding him, the Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic, with every bit of MVP strength in him, threw up one more shot to cut the lead to three.
This little dance could have gone on forever. The Warriors could have continued partying through the night. Jokic and the Nuggets could have kept on keeping up, refusing to go home. Only it didn’t.
