Nikola Jokic was back to his usual self after helping the Denver Nuggets tie the Western Conference semifinals series against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Serbian center had 26 points, 18 rebounds and 4 assists in the game as Denver won Game 2 110-101.

After the game, Jokic was asked why he is so patient when he gets the ball. “I’m patient because I cannot really run fast. That’s my only option,” he replied. Clearly, his patience works for the Nuggets.
