Nikola Jokic was the great protagonist of Thursday’s day in the NBA. With a triple at the buzzer when the game was tied in 127gave the victory to the Denver Nuggets about Golden State Warriors and he once again demonstrated why he is one of the top stars in the league, because he appears in the hottest moments and defines the games.
Although only two games have been played, it surely would have been the same if more games had been played, since he has signed what is probably, today, his best action since his arrival in the NBAand it has had more than one consecrating night.

It’s not every day you come back 18 points in the fourth quarter. Even less so away from home, even less likely to be against the Warriors and, to top it all off, with a triple from almost midfield to take the win.
In the absence of only 3.6 seconds left, the Serbian was in charge of receiving the ball still in his own court. Jokic was looking for the perfect ending to his fantastic performance (34 points, 9 rebounds and 10 assists) and found it, with the help of the board.

The explosion of emotion after the triple was such that even the Serbian, a cold and inexpressive type, he went crazy celebrating itleaving us some images rarely seen in it before.
