Nikola Jokic · Even in the month of January, the reigning NBA Finals Most Valuable Player’s clutch gene remains locked into postseason form. One bucket away from escaping Indianapolis with a hard-fought road victory, Nikola Jokić remains equal parts composed and aggressive, ghosting a ball screen before popping out into the open space. Suddenly wide-open and afforded enough time to have a sandwich, Jokić eases his way towards the top of the key before offering up a cold-blooded 3-point bucket to put the game’s outcome on ice. Jokić was business as usual, crossing the Indiana Pacers off of his triple-double bingo board and leaving him with, at the time, only one team left to reach the statistical landmark against. A catalyst in the win over the Indiana Pacers on January 23, 2024, the Denver Nuggets superstar registered 31 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists, one block, and three 3-pointers. · State of Mint
