For me, it was the Denver Nuggets overtime victory against the Los Angeles Clippers on January 19th. Not only did Nikola Jokic record a 49 point, 14 rebound, and 10 assist triple-double, but his final assist came on Aaron Gordon’s game winning three-pointer in overtime. Following Gordon’s three-pointer, Davon Reed charged the floor to celebrate, which subsequently resulted in a technical foul since there was still time on the clock. This gave the Clippers a chance to get within two points, but luckily they missed their final shot following the free-throw. The Nuggets were still able to hold on and it really felt like the turning point for Jokic and his quest for another MVP trophy.
