Despite a historic performance from Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets allowed a fourth-quarter comeback from the Thunder as they fell 112-105. Now with their backs against the wall heading into Game 6, the Nuggets will continue to rely on Jokic after his 44-point outing.

Not even an astounding performance from Nikola Jokić was enough to defeat the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday.

Although Nikola Jokic was able to once again have a historic game, his insane stat line wasn't enough for the Nuggets to pull out the win. Denver was only able to score 19 points in the fourth quarter of the game and the Nuggets star center contributed in 13 of those points.
