On the other hand, netizens on Zhihu Jokic may have been drunk in this game, because after the last game reversed the Thunder, some netizens photographed him appearing in a bar to celebrate the victory.

Then the Nuggets lost 43 points today, and Jokic's performance Very average, playing 33 minutes in the game, only 6 of 16 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, only 17 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, plus 6 turnovers and 6 fouls left, with a plus-minus value of -36.

According to statistics, -36 is also the lowest game in Jokic's career. The lowest was the G4 in the 2021 playoffs against the Trail Blazers, and his plus-minus value was -32.

This game not only helped the Thunder regain momentum, but also showed their terrifying offensive firepower and depth. Alexander's stable output, Homgren's rim protection, and the outbreak of the bench make this youth army a strong contender for the championship.

If the Nuggets cannot solve the defensive loopholes and Jokic's foul problems, they may not be able to escape the fate of being eliminated.
