Following a devastating 45-point loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 6, Denver Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic maintains composure.

Despite the staggering defeat, Jokic accepts the outcome, acknowledging the Timberwolves’ superiority throughout the game.

“They beat our ass. They were better than us in every segment of the game. We need to accept it. Take it and try to be better next time. When you lose by 45, it’s not something that happens every day. Just accept it. I’m cool with it,” the Serbian superstar said after the game.

The loss forces a critical Game 7 in Denver, where the Nuggets will seek redemption and a chance to advance to the Western Conference finals.

As Game 7 looms, Jokic’s composed response sets the tone for the Nuggets’ determination to bounce back and secure victory on their home court.
