Recap: Nikola Jokic’s game winner lifts Nuggets past Magic

Best player in the world.

After missing the Denver Nuggets last game against the Los Angeles Clippers, Nikola Jokic returned to the floor tonight and made his presence felt like he always does. In a game that almost got away from the Nuggets, Jokic made sure it didn't as he made a game-winning three-point jumper with .2 seconds on the clock to secure the victory for Denver.

Thanks to Jokic’s game winner, the Nuggets captured their 13th straight home victory beating the Orlando Magic 119-116. It was the Nuggets 30th win of the season to push their record to 30-13 and their home record now sits at an incredibly impressive 19-3.
