A dominant Nikola Jokić helps Nuggets win Game 5, take control vs Suns
About this episode
Ryan Blackburn reacts to the Denver Nuggets 118-102 win to take Game 5 of their series against the Phoenix Suns. Nikola Jokić was his usual dominant self with another triple-double, passing Wilt Chamberlain for most in playoff history by a center. Jamal Murray started slow but figured things out in the second half. Michael Porter Jr. started FAST and played one of his best games as a Nugget. Aaron Gordon, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and Bruce Brown also balled out on both ends. Ryan discusses the starters, the bench, and what it will take to recreate this performance in Game 6 on the road.
