In Game 4, despite a clear deficit, Nikola Jokic attempted an ambitious 81-foot shot, emblematic of his determination but emblematic of his current shooting struggles. His shooting percentage has dipped to 33.3% and 18.2% from three-point range. Jokicâs willingness to attempt long shots reflects his competitive nature but also underscores his challenges against the Thunder's top-ranked defense. The article highlights Jokic's character, illustrating his mindset that emphasizes effort over efficiency, even amid a notable downturn in performance during this playoff series.
"It wasn't even a one-possession game, but Jokic later pointed out that it wasn't impossible for the Nuggets to force overtime. Just improbable to the nth degree."
"The heaves have become somewhat of a habit during Jokic's slump; he will let it fly if there's even the slightest chance of impacting the game's outcome."
