In the first one in Oklahoma City, the Canadian excelled with 40 points in the Thunder's victory, while in the rematch 24 hours later, the Serb was dominant with 35+18+8 in the Nuggets' victory.
"This is my third or fourth year in a row, so... I'm really, I don't know, I can't control it. I will say that I think I'm playing the best basketball of my life, if that's enough, then it's enough. If not, then he deserves it. He's really amazing," Jokic said.
Denver showed in this game that it can handle a much younger team with a wider roster and that in matches on two consecutive days.
Thus, the Nuggets and Thunder ended their duels this season with two victories each.
Jokic's team snapped a seven-game winning streak for the Thunder, who have the best record in the Western Conference at 53-12.
The Nuggets are tied for second place in the West with 42-23, they have more wins than the Lakers and Grizzlies.
