Pelicans lose lead late, Jokic’s star shines brightest in 120-114 OT loss to Nuggets

Pelicans fans, I know you’re with me.

You KNEW that Jokic shot at the end of regulation was going in.

Haha!

Sadly, last year’s MVP Nikola Jokic didn’t miss many others and his excellent outing, including in overtime, led the way as the visiting Denver Nuggets beat the New Orleans Pelicans by a final score of 120-114.

What a game!

Both teams were smoking hot in the first half, ending in a 7-point advantage for the Nuggets. At that time, Jokic was literally perfect, making all eight of his shots and sending out nine assists.
