In a funny twist, Nikola Jokic has enjoyed help from his teammates. Aaron Gordon scored the game-winner in Game 1 to stun the Thunder. In Game 3, Denver had three other players besides the three-time MVP winner who scored 20-plus points.

That is how Aaron Gordon reacted to Nikola Jokic fouling out in the third period for the first time in his career. That it came in Game 2 of the second round of the NBA Playoffs against the top-seeded Thunder made it even more exasperating.

Nikola Jokic rolled up in the Joker’s suit, then performed like a court jester.
