Paul Millsap knows nobody is perfect in the NBA. The key to being a good team is finding ways to win when not everything is clicking.

Trailing by a point, Denver inbounded the ball with 3.5 seconds remaining. Jokic missed, but Millsap grabbed the rebound and converted a layup off the glass for the winning basket as the Nuggets improved to 6-1.

„All games are not going to be pretty,“ Millsap said. „You’re not going to shoot the lights out all the time, but the way that we’re winning games is something special, especially with young guys.

„They’re learning how to win without making shots.“

KEEP SHOOTING

Jokic had nine assists to finish one shy of a triple-double, but was having an off shooting night until the final minutes of regulation and overtime — he had eight of Denver’s 10 points in overtime –. He made his first three shots in OT — including a pair of 3-pointers — before the miss Millsap converted.

„It was unbelievable to see him flip the switch like that, to go from struggling to knocking down 3s in big moments,“ Millsap said. „He’s a special player.“
