The NBA’s MVP race is coming down to the wire.
On Saturday, Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic continued his late push for a fourth MVP trophy with an unreal performance in a 136-134 overtime win against the San Antonio Spurs and fellow MVP candidate Victor Wembanyama.
The eight-time All-Star had 40 points on 13-of-25 shooting, 13 assists, eight rebounds and three blocks, getting the better of Wembanyama, who finished with 34 points, 18 rebounds, seven assists and five blocks.
In a performance with several highlights, arguably Jokic’s best moment came on a fadeaway jumper over Wembanyama deep into the shot clock with a minute left in overtime, giving the Nuggets a 133-129 advantage.
