Sublime Performance in Game 1 Loss

Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic has etched his name into the NBA history books, becoming only the third player to amass an astounding 500 points, 200 rebounds, and 150 assists in a single postseason. This remarkable achievement joins the legendary exploits of Larry Bird.

Triple-Double Near-Miss in Game 1

Despite the Nuggets' Game 1 loss, Jokic showcased his unparalleled brilliance, tallying 32 points (11-25 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 8-8 FT), eight rebounds, and nine assists. Adding to his stat sheet, he also recorded three steals.

Historic Contract Extension

Prior to this remarkable postseason performance, Jokic had secured a groundbreaking 5-year contract extension with the Nuggets, setting a new record with a $264 million supermax deal. This agreement ensures his continued dominance in Denver for years to come.
