Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets find themselves in a privileged position ahead of Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals. The Serbian big man has been playing at his best level, as usual, dominating the Lakers and leading his team to get three consecutive wins to start the series.
Even though Jamal Murray is the one taking all the attention on the Nuggets right now, Jokic got a shoutout from a fellow player, with Anthony Edwards sharing a story hyping up the two-time NBA champion.
“Talk that sh*t Jokic,” Edwards wrote in the story.
This game was a rollercoaster for Jokic, who saw Jamal Murray dominate in the first half, dropping 30 of his 37 points in the first two quarters. Then, the role players and Jokic showed up, with the center taking it to the next level in the 4th quarter.
He scored 15 of his 24 points in this period, including a clutch 3-pointer that kept the Lakers away from the Nuggets. After making this big shot, Jokic’s quiet personality changed, and the player screamed.
That’s the moment Ant captured and shared with the world. Jokic did talk against the Lakers, and he’s ready to make another statement in Game 4, where the Nuggets will try to sweep the Purple and Gold and advance to the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history.
Nikola Jokic And The Nuggets Are On A Mission
This team is close to making history, as a victory on Monday would mean the first time the Nuggets make it to the Finals, but also the first time they beat the Lakers in the postseason and the first time they sweep a team in the playoffs.
Denver is ready to take the next step and get closer to the NBA championship, and as long as Jokic and Murray keep playing at this level, the Lakers will have a hard time trying to stop them, even at home.
