Jamal Murray added 25 points for the Nuggets in the victory, while LeBron James led all scorers with 40 points, 10 rebounds, and 9 assists for the Lakers. After closing out this best-of-seven series, 4-0, the Nuggets will now advance to the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history, where they will face the winner of the Boston Celtics-Miami Heat series (Miami leads, 3-0).
Nikola Jokic (27.8 PPG, 14.5 RPG, 11.8 APG) is now the 4th player in NBA history to average a triple-double in a Conference Finals series, joining:

The Nuggets 93 Playoff wins entering tonight were the most Playoff wins by a team to never make a Finals appearance in NBA history.
Nikola Jokic has now recorded his 8th triple-double of the 2023 Playoffs, passing Wilt Chamberlain (1967) for most Triple-Doubles in a single postseason.
Anthony Davis (50) is the 3rd Lakers player (5th instance) in franchise history with 50+ blocks in a single postseason, joining:
Shaquille O’Neal (2003-2004): 61 blocks
Shaquille O’Neal (1999-2000): 55 blocks
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (1982-1983): 55 blocks

Crazy watching a cehter step back and smash clutch threes,and pass like a PG.
Not a center !!
A COMMANDER !!
A SARGEANT MAJOR !!
He's ridiculous! There's never been anything like this in basketball history it's the evolution of the game. Finesse european basketball in a huge physical guy that can move.
Cehter new position 😅
@@urosjovanovic2955 LOL
Dirk played like this, but arguably, he’s not a true C.
The greatest player in the NBA today. No doubt about it.
It's really not close...
too bad the heat are gonna shit on him
@@mrsrandommademedoit3387 true he is miles above from anyone beneath him (LBJ, Giannis, Embiid, AD, ...)
MVP worthy? Hmmmm.
This guy will form the next dynasty
Lakers fan had a rollercoaster ride from "AD will stop Jokic to Hachimura will stop Jokic to LeBron will stop Jokic to Thompson will stop Jokic". Jokic is a beast, he is not stopping anytime soon 🙌🏻👏🏻
Don't forget Mo Bamba as well.
@@hipking23 Ha ha. It disgusted me when I read ESPN website headline about Bamba to play on game 4 or 5, totally disrespecting Nuggets as if they were incapable of a sweep. So, take this BROOM ESPN and shove it up your throat.
"Lakers in 5" after game 1 lmao
Jokic > Prime LeBron
@@Lobothemainman23
Lakers fans are the most delusional fans in all of basketball.
this is what i like about the jokic, he don't care how they look, he don't care what anyone thinks, when perkins said he's stat padding, he doesnt care and even said yes he's a stat padder just to end the conversation, he really made everyone the best version of them, no ego, will admit mistakes and own up to it, the anchor in the team that makes every play and screens, he made everyone good but he can also takeover and be the calm guy in the clutch, when everyone is rambling and can't score, he collect himself, drains the three, take care of the clutch basket , this monster, damn he even said he doesnt care about the mvp and just earlier he was awarded the western finals mvp he said it meant nothing because it's the team. The perfect player.
Perkins is an idiot.
For real man
He don't? 😂
As an eastern European, everything you said is legit. But he cares about he looks, he's always clean shaven. That's how we try.
Lol Kendrick Perkins are bus rider...Lol he lucky to play with Boston big three...If not he stay as bumass center who can't shoot
No celebration. Doesn' matter how good the basket is that he makes. Just gets on with it. No fashion show when he walks in, no moaning on twitter. Legend
The one time he celebrated was on that basket from Caldwell-Pope to take the lead for the first time. Shows exactly what his priorities are.
@@joaoassumpcao3347exactly 👌🏼
facts
So true! No strutting, ice in the veins, cussing to everyone in the vicinity, or chest pumping. Class act. Go Nuggets!!
It's really the best part of his game because when he gets emotional, it's usually for a reason.
jokic always be coming in clutch
That 3 at 4:30 to tie the game despite excellent defense by AD was astounding. .
Should have been the real MVP. Dude's phenomenal and consistent and especially with a healthy squad they rightfully got it right and went smooth sailing to reach the finals. Dunno who I want to win between him and Jimmy but both are likable so idc who wins.
I’m not gonna say that he deserves not doesn’t deserve it but Jokic is cooking ngl
Jokic's talent is phenomenal but he was underrated and taken for granted. Now, they are seeing the real MVP.
Celtics coming back to beat the heat. Denver vs Boston and Boston wins.
Yeah and best part is Jokic's not a chest pounder like the losers...
@@JOEL00111 i want what you smoking bruh
Jokić style of play is like nothing I've ever seen in my over 40 years of watching the NBA. Sometimes it looks like he's going in slow motion, but he's damn near unstoppable.
It does look like slow motion, but then you watch him dribble down the floor past everyone and just marvel.
Larry bird

We all seen it. It called Duncan. Fundamental geniuses
@@prv2182 with all respect to Duncan, not even close mate,
do not be jealous, he well deserve the glory
This generation's version of Tim Duncan. Just plays solid basketball while silently kicking ass.
He should have been MVP and everyone knows it. #Robbed

Is this Luka?

@@nikolayjerev9285 Luka needs to get to another team. Mark Cuban making terrible decisions .... going to ruin Luka's chances to win a title.
real MVP performance no cry no whine =))
His athleticism is in his mind. He can use Bruce Brown's quickness, Jamal's accuracy, Gordon's power dunks and the rest of the team's skills. No need to be muscular.
That's the perfect explanation right there
Hell of a comment. The best I´ve read.
It would be interesting to see him work on his body, get stronger, leaner and a bit more athletic what he could do.
@@gsp3428 I don't think so... he's doing it with no Ego and Floss. You don't need it. Like me I look skinny but can lift over 70lbs looking like someone who could barely lift 30.
Because he is Serbian genius like Nikola Tesla was in his time 😉
now the casuals can stop wondering why Jokic was a 2x MVP and should've been MVP this year
And why he doesn't receive the same whistle from the LeReffs
Big time casuals like Kendrick Perkins.
They dont understand basketball.. alot of ppl just watch for entertainment and gravitate towards atheltic players. Fast, flashy, high jumping atheltic players. Joker looks slow and clumsy. But his production on the court is undeniable. He is by far the best player in the league right now.
@@prash175 Kendrick Perkins literally played in the league.
@@dotenks like a tree
JOKIC just surpassed Wilt Chamberlain for the Most Triple Doubles in Playoff history with his 8th.👏Wilt had the record since 1967, until Jokic broke it tonight. It was a 56 year record.
true so CONGRATSSSSSSSSS
you mean for one post season. in total he has way more triple doubles in the playoffs than wilt.
@@peterpan3022 Yep, Jokic has 14 (3rd all time), Wilt had 9
@@peterpan3022 yes that's for the post season
Nikola Jokic--the best playing the game today...Jokic Murray two man game unstoppable...
The best player in the world right now.
Yeah for last 3 years
0 question. Right now he has no equal in the dominance on the court. You cannot defend him at the moment because if he isn't putting one in he's slipping it to someone open who you lacked coverage on due to focusing so much on him. He's a nightmare to play against. 30-14-13 consistency is impossible to defend.
At least the Lakers finally figured Jokic out.. They figured out they can't stop him.
😂
haha
well not many player in the league can.
They can if you count the refs as Lakers players
Lol
Total floor general. Were lucky to watch this man play basketball

3x MVP in my books
They can go all the way
The 3x Season MVP was shining tonight
with a great Triple Double in 4-0 sweep!
The chemistry that the nuggets play with is unreal, we are watching the start of a Dynasty and the end of another
That drive at the end of 4th sealed it for Denver
3 years ago, AD's buzzer beater 3 pointer. Today, Jokic's 2 shot clock buzzer beaters behind the 3 point line. What a payback
That's a great point!
The real MVP
This dude is insanely good
Nikola "The Genius" Jokic! 😎😎😎
Either I don't like a player, I'm neutral (Jayson Tatum) or I'm a fan. This year Jokic made me a FAN.
I'm a fan of Luka Dončić, but Nikola Jokić is an MVP to me.
@kanajingly8957 In the past I would argue with you but America is only producing Ja Morants. If I could only specify. I'm not specifically a European fan but I like what the INTERNATIONAL scene is currently producing. The only caveat in my support is, I think the NBA has made the rules and the overall game more accommodating (softer) to enable the success of International players. Yet Giannis is one of the more rough and tumble players in the league, so I maybe wrong.
@@lemarbanks125 Jokic and Luka can TOTALLY play in the 80s and 90s with their size and build, same with Giannis. I think it's more the mindset that is different between American and European players, even if the results can be similar (Luka and Harden, for example).
Weird. I thought Lakers fans had figured Denver and Jokic out after Rui played one good possession on him in game 1? How on earth did he overcome that 💀
You thought the Lakers had figured out the Joker? LMAO
@@deerobinson557 Need a little sarcasm sign?
@@deerobinson557 He was joking....
and it wasn't even soo good defense, Joker just missed his shot, and 2nd time AD came from 2nd plan to help...
Big ups to joker , one of kind . Future Finals MVP 🔥
HEAT
@@ramslife7295heat will be destroyed. They have NO size to compete with Denver
@@jamieharknett9620 The Heat destroyed the Bucks the biggest and the most stacked defensive team this post-season with 2 NBA All Defensive 1st-Team with a DPOY.
@@tsong3545Cute. Denver in 4.
I say it will take six to beat Miami
Unreal player.. He does EVERTYTHING on the floor. He bullies lebron in the paint, shoots 3s over AD!!, one of the best passers in the league, can score from ANYWHERE. Gets rebounds, and 2nd chance shots against 3 defenders. High basketball IQ. I wonder if the Nuggets are even a playoff team without Jokic
lol of course they're not, but that' the case for every team, miami wouldn't do anything if it wasn't for Butler cosplaying prime MJ
El verdadero MVP... De la regular y final de conferencia!!!! 💪🔥🧹
This is the first time I’ve seen a POINT CENTER. This is insane. Jokic is truly one of a kind.
Point Center 😍🏆
Jokic really playing some phenomenal basketall. Despite the loss, I must say, European basketball is something else.
True! And the ''Balkan Boys'' lead the way.
@@fifi23o5 yea FROM OLD YUGOSLAVIA 😂😂😂 always
Hey Murray’s an American don’t forget he gave you that D as well
@@miki4962 And add Greeks to the bunch, they are also Balkanians. It would be interesting to see a match between ex-YU or Balkan team against the world. We might win.
@@fifi23o5 More like Serbia.
Best player in the world and IF he wins a ring will be in the top 5 centers of all time.
Jokic just said that, “people are being mean, saying Embiid didn’t deserve his MVP”. What a Gentleman…give this man his MVP!😂
Where?
He said it in his postgame interview.
From a 76ers fan..Jokic has been phenomenal. Finals MVP for me.
You know damn well he deserves 3xpeat MVP status
@@GelatoBoii of course he knows
Jokic the best player in world !!!
Amazing how the slowest person on the floor and least athletic person by a landslide can dominate the series. Really is a testament to how good he is.
that last play by Joker shouldve been an And1 too he was absolutely hammered
If you watched their games regular season and playoffs, especially away, it is absolutely crazy what is the whistle on him. LEREFFS everywhere
bro i never saw Jokic this hype before, i normally see him as a silent assassin who does not show emotion during a win or a loss. looks like the prospect of making to the finals got even to him lmfao
That's the real MVP!
Jokic is playing as good as anyone EVER these playoffs
The real MVP.
That’s why he’s the MVP! That’s why he’s the GOAT! THE GOAT!!!
Objectively, the MVP of the regular season. Do away with the narratives, on why Embiid should win at least 1 out of the 5 years. Best player in the best team of their conference, all advance stats ranking as number 1. Low usage, high assist player. I wish Denver wins it against Miami in a sweep.
are people aware of how well jokic played this series also in defense? Also, do you see how the man literally destroys lebron and AD one on one, and even 2 on 1..Also, this is the first year of Jokic's prime, he is still practically a young player. It's incredible how much he has improved in defense, he is unstoppable in attack, he is a mixture of prime Dirk, Duncan and magic...Shots like this are nothing new for jokic, it's a sombor scuffle, it's amazing how few people follow denver in america
Jokic = Magician 🪄
Can't stop Nikola and these Nuggets!
That's a monster game!!!
They picked Embiid over Jokic 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
THE MANS A BEAST BRO, those bulkan / slavic ppl built different
Lol they thought hachimura can stop jokic. There's no way no way🤣🤣🤣
2:57 I've never seen Jokic show any emotion in a game besides being annoyed with a ref
Pretty sure he was pissed at whichever Morris brother he ethered.
@@delugesofgrandeur he meant on scoring
BEST PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE
Warriors fan here. Jokic should have been the MVP. And Draymond needs to shut up and stop romancing Lebron. Let's go Nuggets!
Jokic plays such fundamentally beautiful basketball, its not always flashy or crowd hypers, but it is efficient and that makes it beautiful in and of itself.
Mr. MVP GREAT MAGIC JOKIĆ !!!!!
This guy is UNBELIEVABLE!!! Also, very happy for Jamal Murray!!!!
The irony is that Carmelo Anthony was supposed to be Denver’s savior, and the day he announced his retirement, Denver went to their first Finals.
He cant even retire his jersey on denver because of NIKOLA😂😂
And his jersey number went to Jokić. In a sense he was a savior to Denver, because Denver traded him for the draft pick with which they selected Jamal Murray.
Would like to see the big fella take home the chip for his team. He gets a lot of hate for such a humble dude.
This guy is gaving a historical post season.. awesome to watch
Jokic was super unselfish and clutch in the game. Beautiful passing. Hits the game winner. The MVP selection for this year is looking sillier by the minute.
Jokic did this with no help from the refs. All those Lakers guarding him were hitting him like crazy. AD gets away with a foul on his last points, Lebron was clobbering his arm, Tristan Thompson out there giving him wedgies.
Strength, Shot and Passing is incredible. There is not a player better in NBA today than Jokic.
I'm completely in agreement with those saying Jokic is such a hell of player cuz he has showed it during the entire season, but I also think this big series win from the Nuggets was a well-done workteam stuff, where every single player did their contribution to it.
That's why it's always a pleasure to see how they play and get into the game amazingly.
well in 5v5 game you need all 5 players to step up to be the best team
Jokić can play all the 5 positions
The way he BOSSED LeBron around 😮
This man is unreal.
Watching this I have no idea why people say Jokic isn't athletic. Sure he doesn't run fast or jump high. But he has incredible stamina and he's strong enough to bully people in the paint. I mean, look at that last play.
Well you just explained it… he’s not fast and can’t jump. But he hussles every play and has really quick and soft hands. He is not athletic in a typical NBA way, but he certainly surprises people with how he plays. He looks like his game would be similar to that “big country” Reeves guy who played a decade ago… it’s not. His effort is worth putting a shine on.
Jokic is like a jumbo jet coming in for a landing. It looks slow but its actually moving at regular speed. He's athletic to be able to get past people.
@@cosmo1eleven855 Ayton said it too, he can run bro
Big Country was ahead of his time and not a good shooter outside of the paint but Shaq always said he was the one player who always gave him the most trouble. Lol.
@rrpostalagain Do you think he can't jump?!? His whistle is not like the others, this makes him even more crazy good. He is also faster then AD, this is why AD is not guarding him.
4:20 Jokić : What I do ? Go to the right ? Go to the left ? Ok.... I go back to the three point line and shoot on one leg 🤣
That is how a triple double should be. It makes the team win. The thing with Jocik is he is trying to get his team mates involved. He doesn't hog the ball for 20 plus seconds. He can score anywhere but he never tries to force anything unless it is badly needed. His post-up game and footwork is like a prime olajuwon. His midrange and 3point shots are like those of prime dirk nowitzki. They are released so high that it is really impossible to block. His passing is like a prime Arvidras Sabonis. He is also just highly skilled and possesses extemely high basketball iq. He may look slow, gassed, and unathletic but he is just unguardable, and he makes opposing teams pay when he gets double teamed. He is also tough and physical. He may play poor defense at times but during crunch times, his defense is suddenly top notch.
defense requires too much athleticism, so he's not going out 100% unless it's absolutely needed to save some gas in a tank
Jokic had two brain farts with the two offensive fouls in the 4Q, but he made the big plays when it counted. Well done big fella.
It's great to see Aaron Gordon find a nice niche with the Nuggets as a cutter/finisher and occasional pick n roll playmaker. For a while it looked like he was going to be another disappointing tweener forward, but kudos to the Nuggets for getting the most out of him.
Nikola was imposing his will in this game. He was simply not going to be denied. Congratulations to the Nuggets Organization!
Homeboy 🃏 was dropping dimes like Magic before scoring 30
Mark Jackson's snickering during the slo-mo replay of Jokic's shot says it all.
It’s cool guys they will figure it out. Lakers in 8
30points, 14rebounds, 13assist. Impressive. 💪🏆
Joker is on another level. He did triple double in conf Finals & shot 51 / 47 / 78%. What a legendary performance
Next on ESPN
Can the Lakers be the first team in NBA history to come back from 0-4 and win a 9game series?👀
4:20 How on earth did he make that shot? AD's reaction afterward said it all.
They called that a two, but when you watch it was clearly a three.
You saw the most complete game by both rosters in this game. Great effort by both teams and congrats to my nuggets!! Let's get the chip!
Jokic is playing insane bball 😏
If anyone deserves the ring this season , it's the Joker and the Nuggets.
PG like Stockton, a computer who always feed the right teamate at the right place and right moment, Magic❤
Davis will be the scapegoat for this but he averaged 27 pts 14 rebs 3 blks on 50% shooting and made Jokic have to hit crazy shots with that giant outstretch hand in his face. It wasn't his fault the Nuggets shot so well or that Jokic was able to constantly do direct passes from the top of the key to wide open shooters without having to drive or break down the defense at all.
Exactly, people discredit great playoff runs by other teams because of their bashing and hate on other players like just give credit where it’s due
Davis is a joke buddy a clown 🤡🤣
Anthony davis actually has a great series if only darvin ham make him the point of offence rather than 38 years old lebron who look gas out in every 4th qtr, dude carrying out franchise his entire life its time for him to be the second man on the team. They make davis mutombo rather than abdul jabbar
He looks invisible sometimes because he's not the flashiest but always sneaking in the triple doubles.
Murray and Nicola are playing the game of basketball beautifully. Moreover, both of those stars don't have any tattoos. It's nice to see these days. What an inspirational duo. #noink
Just phenomenal
ESPN after this:
„If i‘m the lakers, i‘m happy with this series. They can build off of it next season and come back EVEN stronger“
Jokic when he makes tough shots and clutch ones: *calmly runs back to defence like nothing happened.
Jokic when assists to KCP and A. Gordon for and-1: AAAAAAAAAAGH AND OOOOOOOOOOOONE!!!!
This is masterclass of how to play in playoffs in modern era at center position. But for Jokic this is another day in the office. He is absurdly good. Level of the greatest centers of all time. Hope he gets chip this year.
Nobody is even talking about that he break Wilt record in playoffs. When he finished his NBA journey, some of the record that he will set probably will never be broken
Поштовање и љубав из России сербскому брату Николе
1:09 and 4:21 that's Steph Jokic 😂
Also set an all-time record this game for most triple doubles by a player in a single Playoff season.
2:56
The primal roar from jokic after KCPs and1!!!
Just bone chilling!!
The NBA didn’t want to be racist so they gave it to Embiid. No one in their right might takes Embiid over Jokic.
Mark Jackson seeing Jokic for the first time is priceless
