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.
