After watching Russell Westbrook come up short against the Timberwolves, Nikola Jokic came to the defense of the Nuggets' point guard.

On the Minnesota side was Anthony Edwards, who was quiet for most of the game until the fourth quarter began. He entered the frame with 10 points on the night and left with 23, with six of them coming on back-to-back 3-pointers to help swing the game in regulation.

Nikola Jokić put up 61 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in an outrageous performance, but it wasn’t enough to prevent the Denver Nuggets from losing 140-139 to the Minnesota Timberwolves in a double OT classic.
