‘I should have shot the floater’: Jokic admits he got it wrong in clutch loss

Story of Game 2

Nikola Jokic went 1 for 7 in the fourth quarter.

Jamal Murray went 1 for 6 in the fourth quarter.

Nuggets went four and a half minutes without a field goal in clutch time. That’s why they lost. That simple.

Not sure why but Jamal Murray took a tough two and the Nuggets will lose.

Braun splits. Nuggets will have to get a steal or foul. But when Denver gets it back it will be a one possession game.

Great PnR from Joker and Murray. Wolves come flying. Braun gets the dump off and he's fouled. Going to the line to tie.

Brothers calls Edwards on a travel. Now Ant is stalling the play. Jokic wants the ball. Scuffle

Jokic dunk on Gobert, pulls it back to two. Nuggets need a stop

Finally the Nuggets hit. It's an Aaron Gordon jumper being looked at for 3 or 2

Rudy, with five fouls, just pushed Jokic out from a rebound. No call. He gets a putback. Wolves by four.

Another Jokic miss, Nuggets get the rebound then Murray with a tough shot miss. WOW

Jokic misses in the clutch again on Rudy

Wolves go up 3.

Jokic misses three shots in a row, including a play where Rudy dumped him to the ground and there was no call.

Nuggets in trouble with four minutes to play.

We have entered clutch time.

The Nuggets who have struggled in such games this season, have won their last seven.

Nuggets lead back down to 1 with 6:07 to play.

Bruce Brown called for a soft foul defending a post up. Wolves will be in the bonus from the seven minute mark on.

Here comes Nikola Jokic at 7:56 to play. He's just over 32 minutes.

Nuggets up five. Good spot tbh.

At least DA drew up a beauty, the Nuggets get two points off challenge via a Cam layup.

And because Tony Brothers can't see a clear out of bounds, DA challenges and the Nuggets will be without one the rest of the game despite winning both.

I didn't like that challenge but I understand the Nuggets wanting to give themselves a chance to keep the lead.

Jamal Murray's 21st career 30-point playoff game, tying him with George Mikan all-time at 40th. Only Nikola Jokic has more in Nuggets history.

Naz Reid is cooking the Nuggets under-sized bench unit early in the fourth.

Back to back giant Bruce Brown threes

Jamal Murray hit a three just out of the break then only had two points the rest of the quarter.

Need a spurt from the Blue Arrow here to start the fourth.

A Jamal Murray turnover from a trap ends with a Bones Hyland layup to end the third quarter.

Nuggets led by 19 early on, Wolves led by eight just after.

We're at 93-90 going to the fourth quarter. Teams have already shot 49 free throws in this game.

Tim Hardway Jr. fouled on a jump shot. Fourth time the Wolves have fouled a 3-point shooter tonight.

Trying something new, Finch puts Kyle Anderson in to goon it up against Nikola Jokic. Picks up a foul 50 feet away from the basket.

Joker has 14 of the Nuggets last 17 points all since Gobert picked up a fourth foul about five minutes ago.

That lefty hook from five feet out for Jokic to get 20 points was pure filth.

JOKIC. Timeout finch. Nuggets up six still. He has 12 of the last 14 for the Nuggets.

Jokic again! AND-1 He's got 10 of the last 12 for the Nuggets in the past like two minutes. Denver now up six.
