Nikola Jokic News: Just misses Game 1 triple-double

Jokic contributed 29 points (12-24 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds, 12 assists, one block and three steals in 46 minutes during Saturday's 112-110 overtime victory over the Clippers in Game 1 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

The three-time MVP came up big as expected for the Nuggets, with his two free throws late in OT providing the winning margin. Jokic fell just short of his 19th career playoff triple-double, and he's been an even bigger defensive asset than usual of late, recording multiple steals in eight straight appearances dating back to March 28.
