The Denver Nuggets big man Nikola Jokic scored 29 points (11/26 FG), grabbed 13 rebounds, blocked four shots and handed out two assists in the Nuggets’ loss over the Blazers in Game 7.

Jokic took the responsibility for the Nuggets’ loss, per ESPN:

“They look at me as a leader, they look at me as their best player. I missed those free throws, that one free throw at the end and the one free throw in the Portland game. I feel responsible, because I missed a lot of shots and I am supposed to make some of those.”
