Following their disappointing 128-117 loss on Sunday against the Golden State Warriors, the Serbian superstar admitted that he is alarmed over the Nuggets' blunderous late-game finishes.
"I mean, I'm definitely concerned because we are losing the games, and we are not creating open looks," he said. "That's something that we need to change, and hopefully we need to get better.
"I don't know what it is, but we need to figure it out."
The Nuggets wasted another Jokic masterpiece, as the big man delivered a 35-point, 20-rebound, 12-assist triple-double.
Despite the critical absences of Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Kristaps Porzingis, the Nuggets chose to embarrass themselves this weekend. They allowed the Dubs to go off and ignite a 33–16 scoring in the final period.
The Warriors' supporting cast tremendously stepped up from the inactivity of their stars, led by Brandin Podziemski's 18 points, 15 boards and nine assists.
Moses Moody tallied 23 points, while Al Horford had 22.
With the loss, the Nuggets dropped to 36-22. Their 14-15 record in the late-game situations this season is a glaring issue with Jokic and the team's title aspirations.
The Nuggets will be put to the test on Wednesday as they will aim to redeem themselves, facing the Boston Celtics at home.
