When he chooses and when the situation calls for it, he focuses on either passing or scoring. This time, he was unstoppable, shooting 15\/22 from the field, 2\/7 from three, and a perfect 8\/8 from the free-throw line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also added three steals, a block, and five turnovers that didn\u2019t overshadow his incredible performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the contrary, his impact was impressive, especially because of one particular shot\u2014when he had less than a second to take a corner three, and he nailed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jokic literally just did the meme bruh lmao <br><br>\u201cNikola Jokic after a team plays 23.9 seconds of excellent defense\u201d <br><br>\ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\ude2d<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/bBfWAqUbth\">pic.twitter.com\/bBfWAqUbth<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Hater Report (@HaterReport_) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HaterReport_\/status\/1889142102799380544?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 11, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the game, Joki\u0107 was once again named Player of the Week, and he sealed that honor with Denver\u2019s seventh consecutive win. While he hasn\u2019t always been able to align personal and team success this season, everything is finally clicking. This time, he was excellently supported by Christian Braun with 26 points and six rebounds. Strother added 18 points, Murray 17, Pickett 14, and Nnaji 11. Gordon contributed with nine points and seven assists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the losing team, Benton scored 22 points, Clingan had 21 with seven rebounds, while Deni Avdija recorded 16 points, six rebounds, and eight assists in 33 and a half minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Nikola Joki\u0107 40 points highlights vs the Portland Trail Blazers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yhh0-qIhNJo?start=2&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Denver took full control of the game relatively quickly, securing a comfortable double-digit lead. By the end of the third quarter, the Nuggets were up by 23, a clear signal for their best player to rest. Joki\u0107 could be pleased as his teammates only stepped on the gas in the final period, at one point extending the lead to a maximum of +32.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#b92d2d\" class=\"has-inline-color\">READ MORE: <\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/rod-blagojevic-is-convinced-belgrade-is-the-perfect-place-for-a-meeting-between-and-putin\/\" title=\"\">ROD BLAGOJEVI\u0106 IS CONVINCED: Belgrade is the perfect place for a meeting between and Putin!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/blagojevic-on-joe-rogans-podcast-nato-forced-serbia-to-give-up-kosovo-by-bombing-it-in-1999-video\/\" title=\"\">BLAGOJEVI\u0106 ON JOE ROGAN\u2019S PODCAST: NATO forced Serbia to give up Kosovo by bombing it in 1999!
