The Nuggets trimmed a 17-point, third-quarter deficit to 95-90 in the final minute thanks to an astonishing 14 offensive rebounds in the fourth quarter and a 19-9 run before Rodney Hood’s two free throws with 17 seconds left iced it.

Nikola had 16 points and 14 boards but got off to a slow start and wasn’t nearly the take-control force he was in Game 1, when he scored 37 points.

„The last quarter we missed a lot of put-backs, but 23 offensive rebounds is a big number,“ Jokic said. „The first half we had open shots but we didn’t make any of those.“
