[Highlights] Nikola Jokic hits the game-winning floater against the Suns, as Devin Booker misses the potential game-winner, and Royce O’Neale nearly scores the wild circus shot to tie the game (with replays)
With our clutch record this szn, I was so sure that 3 from Book was going in lol
Glad Royce’s shot didn’t go in, wouldn’t have counted after review. My heart prefers to only get ripped out once.
This is Jokic’s first game winning FG in over 2 years, when he hit that bomb three pointer to beat the Warriors as the clock expired in 2024.
Jokic for CPOTY
Why didn’t they go for a two at that point. Its higher percentage shot.
My guess is they didn’t wanna take their chances in OT because of foul trouble & two starters are already out. There was enough time on the clock to go for the win, and if it failed they could snag a rebound and try to tie. Or play the foul game if no rebound.
But O’Neale wasted time with a crazy inbound pass, so they didn’t have time for the putback.
Because winning is better than going to overtime
It ended up being a great look at a shot to win the game and that’s all you want as a team or a coach
Thier best player was able to get a good shot off, that’s not a bad shot. Especially when the ball gets thrown into the back court like that
What a sweet shot it was
Why do you not sell out if you’re the help side man. Better to have Cam Johnson taking a clutch 3 with a late contest than having either of Jokic or Murray get a comfortable middy.
