Nikola had another triple-double, Jamal Murray hit a clutch floater with 36.8 seconds remaining and the Nuggets held off the Spurs 90-86 in Game 7 to advance in the postseason for the first time in a decade.

„I love the grit, the resiliency, the toughness we played with tonight,“ Nuggets coach Michael Malone said. „Even late when they made their run … we never lost our composure.“

Jokic turned in another monster game. Jokic showed off his arsenal of shots, even throwing in a sky hook. He played a little more than 43 minutes — just slightly down from the 48 minutes Malone pledged to play him during pregame.

„Bumps and bruises, whatever,“ Jokic said. „You need to fight them in this moment.“

Told his numbers for the series — 162 points, 85 rebounds, 64 assists — Jokic responded:

„And win,“ he said.

The big man also had a triple-double in Game 1.

„He’s magnificent, magnificent,“ Popovich said. „I’ll just leave it at that.“
