Nikola Jokic did all he could to beat the Timberwolves in Game 4, dropping 43 points on 57.7 percent shooting, but the eight-year NBA veteran was denied his first career series sweep in overtime, 114-108.
"The hardest thing to stomach about this game is that we were unwilling and unable to get necessary stops," Denver head coach Michael Malone said after the game.
Jokic stuffing the stat sheet in Game 4 was no surprise. For the series, Jokic is averaging 25.8 points, 11.3 rebounds and 8.3 assists.
With a sweep out of the question, the series now shifts back to Denver where Jokic and the Nuggets hope to mop up the Timberwolves in five.
Here is the latest news on Jokic's status for Game 5.
