Jokic played for about 53 minutes, but in the last moments of Nickeil Alexander-Walker, two free throws that pushed Timberwolves into the bubbles in the last moments of the game.
Russell Westbrook stole a pass from Minnesota, but missed Denver a hurry to get three points. Minnesota took the ball to Alexander-Walker in the corner and Westbrook foul him at a shot.
Anthony Edwards directed Timberwolves with 34 points.
“This could be the best game I’ve been part of my life, Ed Edwards said to journalists Star tribune. “Nikola Jokic, Bruh, Oh, God, he could be the best basketball I’ve ever seen. Also myself. Myself. Bro, amazing. Mvp race is hard, my man. I don’t know.
Edwards was 25 years old and had five 3 points. He also made 10 rebounds and eight assists.

But it was Jokic who played the show.
Three times MVP and all-Star seven times, add 10 rebounds and 10 assists to the ridiculous stat line. In 2022, Luka Doncic’s footsteps and in 2018 James Harden, followed by the third 60 -point triple couple in the NBA history.

“The man is the superman,” said Nuggets coach Malone. “He’s on another level, my friend. People say it’s not athletic, but many men can’t do what he’s do.”
Jokic watched the best career for the second time this season. On December 7, he scored 56 points against Washington Wizards. He said he was just “tired” after the game.
“It was a tiring game.”
Really tiring, but the playoff race is tightening.
Oklahoma City Thunder has made a playoff point with the best record in the NBA so far. However, after thunder, the difference between seed 2 and seed 8 in the West is only six victories.
