When Nikola Jokic goes full wizard mode, you just hold your breath and pray he’s not angry. Spoiler: he was.
The Thunder rolled into Game 6 thinking they’d punch their ticket to the Western Finals. Instead, Nikola Jokic handed them a handwritten note that said: “Not in my house, and definitely not tonight.”
Final score: Nuggets 119, Thunder 107
Series: Tied 3-3
Vibes: Absolute chaos
Jokic didn’t just show up — he summoned basketball sorcery. Passes? Telepathic. Rebounds? Magnetized. Points? Too smooth to be legal in 42 states. When he’s in this mode, he’s not a player. He’s a controlled storm in size 16 sneakers.
OKC had their moments, but once Jokic went into Serbian Sith Lord mode, it was curtains. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander tried everything short of borrowing superpowers. But the Denver defense finally remembered they’re paid to do that.
And can we talk about Jamal Murray hitting that one three-pointer that looked like it defied Newton’s laws? Pretty sure that ball applied for frequent flyer miles.
Game 7 is officially on deck. Winner goes to the West Finals. Loser goes home with some epic highlight reels and a fresh therapy bill.
