Nikola Jokic is a wonder to behold. He drives the lane slower than molasses rolling uphill but he just makes things happen. Tonight he put up 26 points to pace Denver, carrying the offense for the first three quarters when shots just were not falling and then helping the Nuggets finish off the Raptors down the stretch.
And the offensive variety itself was just vast. Did you want to see him drive the hoop and finish with a Euro step? Done. Spin move for the rim-protected lay-in? It’s in there. Left-handed hook shot?
