I just watched the game between Oklahoma and Denver, and brother, what happened to Jokic in the final quarter was brutal. Dort literally took his leg while passing and knocked him to the floor, and Nikola Jokic got up furious. That can't be allowed on a court.



The crazy part is that after Jokic reacted, Williams stepped in and ended up yelling at him. The referees ejected Dort for a flagrant foul type 2, but the Oklahoma crowd started booing Jokic every time he touched the ball. Nikola Jokic later said that it was an unnecessary action and that his reaction was necessary, and honestly, he's right.

In the end, Oklahoma won in overtime 127-121. Shai returned after 9 injured games and scored 36 points with 9 assists in 34 minutes, but he didn't play in overtime. Jokic also had a triple-double with 23 points, 17 rebounds, and 14 assists, but it wasn't enough. Oklahoma maintains its lead in the West with a record of 46-15. Intense game, really.
