Nikola Jokic spun Draymond Green into oblivion, and the Nuggets lived to fight another day.
Facing the improbable task of clawing back from a 3-0 playoff deficit, the Nuggets survived, 126-121, in Sunday’s gripping Game 4 at Ball Arena, battling with the desperation and urgency they promised in the first-round series.
Jokic played like a two-time MVP, pounding the Warriors’ frontline for 37 points on 21 shots and, for the first time in the series, help finally arrived.
Will Barton drained a clutch 3-pointer from the corner with 8 seconds left to all but seal the game.
