Shot clock at four. Jokic has to put it up. Falling away, puts it up.
Bang! Knocks it down. His foot was on the line. A two-pointer. What a shot.
That's a tough shot. How about that?
I mean, he's made... Paul cocked behind his head like that.
He made the one in what? Game two? Yep. Same thing?
Jokic just gets it off in time. It's up.
Oh, Corsett goes in. Jokic from downtown.
Anthony Davis just stares at him.
Twelve assists. Even the desperation shots go in.
In the first, second quarter.
Murray gets inside. Back to Jokic. Shot clock winding down.
Jokic has to put it up. High on three. Oh, he knocks it down.
Stepping backwards. Falling backwards.
You can feel the nervousness in this building.
Everyone standing. Jokic. Here comes the reigning two-time MVP.
Fades and sticks it again.
And then Jokic with a big-time step back.
And we have a ball game.
The other one is the Lakers got to put him in a position to be aggressive.
Jokic. That's just terrible. Knocks it down.
Thirty-one for Jokic. That's the one.
Passes do it all and we're going to watch it.
If Anthony Davis can't guard this, nobody in the league can.
Jokic. Patient. Draws three. Still takes.
And floats it in.
What are you supposed to do here?
What are you supposed to do?
Jokic has scored their last seven.
Six seconds.
Backing down Biambo to the box. Fades.
He steals.
Going to their stars in the Jokic.
With a beautiful fade in the finish.
Back out to Jokic.
Two on the shot clock.
Hoyson off ballast jumper. Oh!
It finds Knitt!
God, he traveled. Let's take a look.
No, that's a good shot.
But that possession started with him getting double-teamed
in the post.
Drifting back to the perimeter, making this.
Nine to shoot.
Barton. Out to Jokic.
Jokic falling away.
Goal!
Jokic buries it.
He's done it visually.
He thought he got slapped on the arm again.
It's a two-pointer.
Jokic.
Five to shoot.
Little fadeaway jumper.
Splash! Wow!
In the meantime, just
an incredible shot
by Jokic at the other end.
Three to fire.
Jokic two to fire.
Card!
Woo!
To get him on that right side.
A little one-legged.
And he worked.
Jokic loves
that shot and
hits the Sambor shuffle.
Look at the size of Boban's
hand, folks.
Look at him challenging this.
So bust out that Sambor shuffle
off one foot
over Boban.
This win for Denver stops
a three-game losing streak.
They had lost five of six
but they come in. Jokic at three.
Got it! Jokic!
Harris in the lane. Strip
got it back. Tight rope.
Shot clock's at five.
Porter into Jokic. Jokic.
Sambor shuffle on the
step back!
Into traffic. Three to shoot.
Jokic will turn at the base.
High arm. Yeah!
Nikoli Jokic!
Look at the clock.
Right at two seconds
he's shooting about a 17-and-a-half
19-foot fadeaway
jump shot, Dirk Nowitzki
style.
Trying to get the ball to Jokic.
And they finally do. Five on the clock.
Jokic turn. Sambor
shuffle. Got it!
Yes!
And now Jokic.
Jokic, 28 points tonight.
And the basket is good and a foul
on Nikoli Jokic.
And falling in
Nikoli Jokic against Carl
Anthony Towns a little step back
takes the contact, but it doesn't
matter. He can handle it.
Knocks down that fadeaway jumper.
Now Morris with it.
Nuggets down by one. Shot clock's
at three. Jokic. Sambor
shuffle is good!
Shot clock going down
the step back.
And more skilled. George switches
on to Jokic. Fadeaway
jumper good. Toyed with him
and made the bucket. The lead up to
This used to frustrate me in the park. That guy
with his hat on and his cigarette.
I'm still mad at him.
With the black socks?
Now Jokic.
Sambor shuffle over
Vucevic. Got it!
There's the free throw story. As Katie
mentioned, Bucks getting there a lot, but they
missed seven. Nuggets not getting there very much
at all. But they made
nine out of ten. Now Jokic
is going to Sambor shuffle.
Got it! Sees the
night time. Fifteen points. Eight
assists. Couple of steals.
Now Jokic against Lynn.
Sambor shuffle is good!
Take that!
I can say
as a youngster, I used to know how to play a little bit.
Yeah, yeah. I can do a little bit
of this myself.
As Murray
around the corner, backhands it
to Jokic. He's got five to shoot.
In on Carter.
Little step back and he's got it.
So Nikola Jokic on the board.
Seven to shoot.
Jokic has it. Against Stephen Adams
who's back in. Sambor shuffle!
Got it!
Beautiful Sambor shuffle.
Adams sets up to him afterwards
right there.
