Nikola Jokic makes the NBA story in Nugget's Thunder game 5

After the Denver Nuggets achieved a huge victory in Game 3 for a lead of the 2-1 series, they lost two consecutive games 3-2 against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the second round of the NBA playoffs.

The Nuggets did everything in the game 5 on Tuesday to steal a victory on the street, but the thunder finally won a convincing win of 112-105 with an incredible performance.

The thunder was led by the MVP leader Shai Gilgeous-Alexander with 31 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks at 12-23 shooting from the field, but Denver's MVP candidate was the top performer of the night.

In one loss, Nikola Jokic Denver led with 44 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals at 17-25 shooting from the field and 5-7 from three-point range. Jokic was the first player in the history of the NBA Playoffs to reach these numbers in one game Pro Stathead.

Jokic was also the first NBA player since the legendary Wilt Chamberlain, who had several games with more than 40 points, more than 15 rebounds and 5+ assists in a single playoff series.

Jokic's night was summarized by an absurd three-pointer in the fourth quarter when he was somehow a leg from beyond the arch to Chet Holmgren over the gunshot, which took place around the shooting clock.

Jokic has put together a playoff performance of all time, but it is a shame that ended in a loss. Jokic continues to turn out to be a big all-time grande. However, the three-time MVP is fighting to bring the nuggets to their championship goals, especially if they stand against Gilgeous-Alexander and thunder.

Jokic and the Nuggets will return to Denver to organize Thunder for Game 6 on Thursday.
