DENVER -- Nikola Jokic received the Michael Jordan award from commissioner Adam Silver before tipoff, then delivered a memorable playoff performance to celebrate his third MVP trophy Tuesday night.
Jokic scored 40 points and dished out 13 assists and the Denver Nuggets shut down Anthony Edwards in a 112-97 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves that put the reigning NBA champs one win away from the Western Conference finals.
Jokic also had seven rebounds with no turnovers as the home team won for the first time in this semifinal series.
