Nikola Jokić recorded an impressive stat line with 24 points, 15 rebounds, and eight assists in the Nuggets’ Game 2 loss to the Timberwolves. Although he fell short of a triple-double, Jokić’s five turnovers and 40 percent shooting highlighted the defensive pressure applied by Rudy Gobert. As Denver grapples with defensive vulnerabilities and Peyton Watson’s absence, they’ll aim to adjust strategies heading into Game 3 on Thursday in Minnesota.
