In the battle of Tianwang Mountain, the Denver Nuggets were reversed by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the final quarter. After the Nuggets were equalized by the Thunder with an 11-0 offensive, Jokic was the only one to fight against the Thunder. He watched Hartten hit, Jewish hit, and SGA hit, while he was the only one fighting in the Nuggets. Westbrook and Porter Jr. even made an outrageous three-pointer and three-pointer. The Nuggets fell behind 2-3 and fell into the quagmire.

Jokic made 44 minutes in the whole game, made 17 of 25 shots, made 5 of 7 three-pointers, scored 5 free throws, scored 44 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, and only 2 mistakes, with a shooting percentage of 68%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 71.4%. It can be said that Jokic is already in a solution.

Jokic scored 44 points for 17 of 25 shots, and his teammates scored 61 points for 23 of 72. His teammates' shooting percentage was only 31.9%. How can we reason about this? In the most critical quarter, Jokic scored 13 points in 4 of 6 shots, his teammates scored 15 shots in total, and Jokic made 1 of 18 three-pointers in the end. Just Jokic hit the magical three-pointer, what else do you want Jokic to do?

US media LH wrote after the game: Jokic would like to be LeBron this year.

TNT] Commentator Barkley: Jokic is under more pressure than any player in the NBA, and he has to deal with almost all situations alone on the court.

Jokic set a number of records in this game: 1. 40+15+5 Chamberlain's first player after 40+15+5;

2. 40+ for the seventh time in the playoffs;

3. Westbrook's first three-pointer in a single quarter, the second in history;

4. Jokic's seventh career time in his career, lost for the first time, in other words, 6 wins and 1 loss;
