The Nuggets took to Twitter to praise Jokic after his buzzer beater against the Dallas Mavericks Thursday night

Nikola Jokic saved the day for the Denver Nuggets on Thursday night against the Dallas Mavericks. Down one after a ferocious and-one slam by Luka Doncic that allowed the Mavericks to take the lead with less than 5 seconds left, the Pepsi Center crowd knew they were in desperate need of a savior. Jokic, who had a quiet night (only scoring 11 points in total), took it amongst himself to hit the game-winning shot as time expired.

The game-winner came in the form of a typical Jokic shot, an off balance floater.
