In the vast majority of the Nuggets' 50 regular season wins—and their six postseason wins thus far—the club won because of three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic. On Friday night, the Nuggets won in spite of The Joker.

The Nuggets came away with a Game 3 win back at home in Denver on Friday, toppling the Thunder in overtime, 113-104. It's a major momentum shift for the series, after OKC dominated Game 2 with a 43-point win, as Denver now has absorbed that blow and still come out on top, 2-1, in the series.

Jokic set multiple career-worst marks in a pivotal Game Three in which his Denver Nuggets team needed him the most. But they won anyway.
