The Denver Nuggets outlasted Stephen Curry and the Warriors in a Thursday night on TNT thriller 130-127. Jokic dropped 34 points on 13-of-15 shooting, 10 assists and nine rebounds. Additionally, Aaron Gordon had 30 points and Jamal Murray added 25.
“That was the last option with that play,” Jokic said. “I just took a shot. I think those shots are the easiest shots to take. You don’t have any other options. So actually, when I felt it, I thought, ‘Oh, I’m going to bank this.’ You can see the flight of the ball, and I just knew I was going to bank it.”
On the other end of the court, Curry dropped 30 and Klay Thompson added 24.
