On Saturday, the Denver Nuggets secured a significant victory in Game 4 against the LA Clippers, leveling the series at 2-2, with a remarkable standout performance by Nikola Jokic, a three-time NBA MVP. In the victory on Saturday, Jokic scored 36 points, grabbed 21 rebounds, provided 8 assists, and made 2 steals with a shooting record of 14 out of 25 from the floor and 3 out of 6 from three-point range. One of his missed three-point attempts almost allowed the game to go into overtime.
With only moments left and the score even, Jokic missed the three-point shot for the win, but fortunately, Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon was in position to slam it home for a dunk just as time ran out, securing the victory. The conclusion of Saturday's Game 4 was wild, but it wasn't free of a refereeing error in the final moments. The Last Two Minute Report from the NBA was issued following the Nuggets' victory, acknowledging an error that benefited Denver.
With only 1:30 remaining in the fourth quarter and the Nuggets leading 96-95, Clippers guard James Harden was moving the ball up the court when Nikola Jokic held onto him, but no foul was called. The NBA noted, "Jokic (DEN) grips Harden's (LAC) arm tightly, impacting his SQBR. " On Saturday, the Nuggets managed to secure a victory against the Clippers while playing away, and it's likely that a correct decision in this situation would not have affected the game's result. This would have marked Jokic's fifth foul of the match, adding excitement to the last minute and a half.
