MINNEAPOLIS — Sunday’s game won’t be showcased on any highlight reel, but somehow the Nuggets found a way to avoid a complete disaster.
And, of course, Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic was at the center of it. For the second game in a row, Jokic buried a game-winner that saved his team.
After a fourth-quarter collapse and a tense overtime session, Jokic drained a baseline jumper that sealed the game and seized the 100-98 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Target Center. Jokic’s game-winner over the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night secured the Nuggets’ biggest fourth-quarter comeback in team history.
