A funny thing happened on the Nuggets’ way to being swept out of the NBA playoffs. They wrestled the broom from big, bad Golden State, and knocked cheeky Draymond Green on his sassy rear end.
On a bad day for Nikola Jokic haters, the once-and-future MVP took a vicious poke in the right eye from Green in the game’s first minute, then scored 37 points in a 126-121 victory Sunday that allowed Denver to stave off elimination.
“It was actually kind of painful,” Jokic said, taking stock of his injury. “I’m not going to lie.”
The best moment of a beautiful spring afternoon when a bandwagon of front-running Warriors fans left Ball Arena crying in their Chardonnay?
