Highlights: Nikola Jokić drops 41 points, bolsters MVP case on national television

The Joker just keeps finding new ways to strengthen his MVP case.

On a night where nobody truly had it going for the first three quarters, Nikola Jokiu0107 dragged the Denver Nuggets to the fourth quarter and a victory against Damian Lillard, Enes Kanter, and the Portland Trail Blazers, scoring 41 points on 17-of-32 from the field, capped off by a euro step dunk driving past Enes Kanter and around Derrick Jones Jr.’s outstretched arms.

Jokiu0107 added just five rebounds and five assists, a pedestrian outing for someone of his caliber, but let’s focus on the 32 shot attempts.
