Although Jokic feels bad, the Nuggets beat the Thunder in overtime to win the match point advantage

On May 10, the NBA playoffs were in a turbulent situation. The Nuggets suffered overtime at home, defeating the Thunder 113-104, leading the series with a total score of 2-1 and taking the lead. In this game, Nuggets core Jokic started for 43 minutes. Although his shooting feel was not good, he helped the team win a key game with his comprehensive performance and overall performance.

Jokic made only 8 of 25 shots and lost 10 of his three-pointers. However, he still relied on active scrambling, took 16 rebounds, sent 6 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. However, eight turnovers also became a major flaw in his game. After the game, Jokic was interviewed by the media. Speaking of the reasons for the team's victory, he emphasized: "Our defense is very good, and I think that's why we won the game." Although his data is not impressive and he has made many mistakes, Jokic said modestly: "Today I am the worst player on the court, but we won the game, which is the most important thing." This attitude of putting team victory above personal performance fully demonstrates the style of a general.

Although Jokic's shooting percentage in this game is not high, his restraint on the court and his control over the team's offensive rhythm are still crucial. The outstanding performance of other players on the defensive end successfully made up for Jokic's poor feel. The Nuggets' stable performance in overtime has shown strong resilience and team strength.

After this game, the Nuggets entered the next game with a 2-1 lead, and their morale was greatly boosted. Although the Thunder unfortunately lost, there are still opportunities in the series. Next, the Thunder will make adjustments to this game and strive to win a goal in the subsequent games. Whether the Nuggets can continue their good form and consolidate their lead, and how the Thunder will fight back, the next showdown between the two sides will surely be even more exciting, and it is worth waiting for fans to wait and see.
