Watch: Nikola Jokic asserts himself on offense, Tony Brothers asserts his authority

Nikola Jokic must have been hearing the scuttlebutt about him being tired, because he looked anything but in the first quarter against the Indiana Pacers last night. Joker poured in 16 points in the first frame on his was to a 26 point night overall. In typical Joker fashion, he also piled on 7 boards and 5 assists. Unfortunately, Nikola also got 2 technical fouls within about 3 seconds of each other. With three minutes to go Jokic got tangled with Myles Turner going for a rebound and was whistled for an offensive foul.
