Nikola je postigao najviše poena na jednoj utakmici, 30, ali je i pokazao pomalo od svega. Most of his shots were from in close, but the 6-foot-10 center also showed his range by hitting a 3-pointer.

He also doesn’t force shots, dishing out five assists. His unselfishness has been contagious — the Nuggets had 33 assists.

„If I’m doing that (rubbing off on teammates), I’m so happy,“ Jokic said. „Because I know if the ball is flying around … that’s really hard to guard. You don’t know where the ball is.“

Magic coach Frank Vogel was impressed.

„The kid Jokic is playing just terrific basketball,“ Vogel said. „He creates an element of spread offense that is very, very difficult to handle.“
