NBA Playoffs Semi-final
After Jamal Murray, the Nugget’s second-leading scorer and starting point guard tore his ACL in mid-April and went out for the rest of the season it was a question mark on the Nuggets if they could even make it to the playoffs.
But the Nuggets who are led by MVP favorite Nikola Jokic. Who after the loss of his teammate had stated “We’re going to miss Murray as a team. He’s a big part of our team. But that doesn’t mean we’re going to quit.” This proves that Nikola was prepared to elevate his game in yet another category — leadership.

Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard who had once in a lifetime game against the Nuggets in Game 5, appeared to smash them with 55 points but all went in vain, and in the Time-out the Nuggets took a lead over them. He seemed to have run out of gas in Game 6. After his Game 5 heroics, he could only score 23 points in the first three quarters.
