Another lost match for Denver in the fight against direct competitors for a better playoff position in the West. This time, Minnesota was too big a mouthful for the limp Nuggets, who fall whenever it gets difficult and whenever the opponent plays a slightly stronger defense. In the end, it was 108-117 for the guests, for the better team.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As this season progresses, it is becoming clear that no matter how Joki\u0107 plays\u2014and today he played brilliantly\u2014it is no guarantee that Denver will win the game. The Serbian center scored 35 points (26-15 shooting, 4-1 three-pointers), grabbed 13 rebounds, and was missing a 10th assist to complete a triple-double.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it was in vain that Nikola distributed passes that no one was there to capitalize on. The turnaround, after a nine-point Nuggets lead in the first quarter (31-22), happened in the second when Joki\u0107 left the game and Minnesota made a run and won it with a convincing advantage (36-19).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
