Watching this again and Gordon does so properly to go reverse wing off the field out. As a result of Holmgren scrambles to guard the paint Caruso has to decide on between AG and Jokic and clearly selected Joker. Gordon’s open and the remaining is historical past.

Extra on this storyline
Jorge Sierra: Nikola Jokic put up one of the best non-Wilt stat lines in playoffs history last night. -via Twitter @hoopshype / Might 6, 2025
He scored 11 of the Nuggets’ ultimate 17 factors, besting Gilgeous-Alexander 18-13 within the fourth quarter. Jokic exerted his will. But he by no means misplaced his approach as he misplaced his thoughts over questionable calls. Boos cascaded down as he complained, accompanied by interim coach David Adelman’s symphony of seething on the refs. Jokic’s face reddened, however his pulse didn’t race. “I played in Serbia in small gyms with 30 people, and you could hear everything they said. Sometimes I think that’s worse because you can see the guy who’s yelling at you,” Jokic said. “And I have played in front of a lot of people with the national team in other countries. I don’t want to say I don’t get distracted. …” -via Denver Post / Might 6, 2025
As an alternative, he saved taking part in at his tempo, ignoring voters who will identify Gilgeous-Alexander MVP this month and responding to surly followers chanting “free throw service provider” as he sank 10 of 13 from the charity stripe. “To be honest, I didn’t hear that,” said Jokic of the derisive critique previously directed at Gilgeous-Alexander this season. “That’s kind of funny.” -via Denver Post / Might 6, 2025
