In the Nuggets, 25 points and five rebounds for Will Barton, 22 points and 11 balls under the baskets for the league’s most valuable player Nikolai Jokič, and 20 points scored by Michael Porters junior.

“I waited a very long time for that moment,” Bucker said after the victory. “A lot of people have told me I was playing inexpressive basketball. This is my chance to prove the opposite to them.”

The Nuggets would have managed to win their first win in the series, but Jokič was expelled in the third quarter of the game.

“They beat us. They beat us in the ass,” Jokich did not hide the bitterness of the loss. “We need to keep our heads high. If someone wins you, accept it and move on to get better.”

“The whole season was great, but not the last four games,” the Serbian basketball player added.

The Dog will meet Los Angeles Clippers and Utah Jazz Series winners in the semifinals. In this series, the lead with 2-1 is “Jazz”.

Meanwhile, in Sunday’s second game, the Milwaukee Bucks won the Nets with 107: 96 (23:26, 30:22, 28:21, 26:27) and reached a 2-2 draw in the Eastern Conference semi-finals.

In the second quarter, Irving landed on Adetokunbo’s footsteps after one of the successful attacks and immediately fell on the grass floor. The grimaces of the basketball player’s face did not hide the pain, he left the field after a moment. Later, Irving did not return to the game.

Nets reports that initial tests have not revealed a bone fracture, but more in-depth tests are expected on Monday. Irving played just over 17 minutes on Sunday.

On Tuesday, both teams will play the fifth game of the series.

In the NBA Main Event, the teams played 72 games this season, which is ten less than usual.
