Nikola Jokić’s 55-Point Masterpiece: Is This the Most Unbelievable Season in NBA History?

Jokić had 33 at halftime, cutting what had been a double-figure Clipper lead down to five heading into the locker room. He then went ahead and made his first seven shots out of intermission, a 19-point burst that firmly tilted the game in Denver’s favor.

After scoring 52 points on 22 shots in 31 minutes through three quarters, Jokić would return to the court midway through the fourth with the Nuggets up by 19 — a decision Denver head coach David Adelman defended as just trying to salt away the win against an opponent capable of getting hot from long distance. Six minutes later, that 130-116 win was secured; one more putback and free throw later, Jokić finished with 55 points — tying MVP combatant Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for the NBA’s single-game season high — on 18-for-23 shooting to go with 12 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 2 turnovers in 34 minutes of work.
