DENVER -- After yet another of his jump shots clanged off the iron, this one a potential game winner at the regulation buzzer, Nikola Jokic plopped his 6-foot-11, 284-pound body into a seat on the Nuggets' bench and unleashed a roar toward the Ball Arena rafters.
Jokic endured one of the worst offensive outings of his career in Friday's pivotal Game 3, which he finished with 20 points on 8-of-25 shooting, missing all 10 of his 3-point attempts, and matching a playoff career high by committing eight turnovers.
Ultimately, the three-time MVP's struggles didn't matter.
