The game was marred by moments of frustration for Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic, who was visibly heated during a fourth-quarter timeout. Despite his impressive performance, tallying 23 points, 13 rebounds, and 13 assists, Jokic found himself grappling with a series that has left his team on the ropes. This loss marks a troubling pattern, as the Nuggets have now lost both games in which Jokic recorded a triple-double, raising questions about their playoff viability.
