Chris Paul Buries Depleted Nuggets’ Roster in Game 2 Win

Nikola Jokic’s MVP was well-earned this season, and he’s proven to be a postseason metronome through his first 41 playoff games. Jokic entered Wednesday night’s Game 2 matchup with the Suns averaging 25.9 points, 11 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game in his playoff career, adding a dozen 30-point performances in the process. He continued to provide quality postseason play in Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals tallying 24 points and 13 rebounds in 30 minutes. But while Jokic is undoubtedly one of the best players in the game, he still requires at least a respectable effort from his supporting cast to compete for the Western Conference crown.
