MINNEAPOLIS -- In what was statistically the worst shooting night of his playoff career, Nikola Jokic missed 19 of his 26 shots in Thursday night's Game 3 and the Denver Nuggets, whom he led to an historic offensive season, failed to reach 100 points for the first time since January.
"I've never seen him shoot what he shot today," guard Jamal Murray said. "That's an outlier type of game."
It resulted in the Minnesota Timberwolves running away with a 113-96 win, putting the Nuggets into a 2-1 series deficit as pressure mounts on Jokic to solve Rudy Gobert and the Minnesota defense before Denver's season expires.
"They're big, tall, long," Jokic said. "They're really good defensive players."
