Nikola Jokić
Nuggets
Recap
Nikola Jokić delivered a near triple-double performance with 24 points, 15 rebounds, and eight assists in the Nuggets’ Game 2 loss to the Timberwolves. Despite his efforts, Jokić faced tough defense from Rudy Gobert, contributing to his five turnovers and 40% field goal shooting. With Denver’s defensive challenges and Peyton Watson sidelined, the Nuggets will aim to regain their footing as the series moves to Minnesota for Game 3 on Thursday.
