If there's only one person on the Denver Nuggets who deserves to be mad at Russell Westbrook for his poor decision-making in a 140-139 double overtime loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, it's the iconic Nikola Jokic.

Nikola Jokic addressed the late-game mistakes by Russell Westbrook that ultimately cost the Denver Nuggets a hard-fought battle against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Denver Nuggets suffered a heartbreaking 140-139 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in a game that went to double overtime.

During the second overtime of the game, Russell Westbrook committed a series of costly mistakes that ultimately led to Denver losing to the Timberwolves. These include missing an easy lay-up with 17.7 seconds left and fouling Nickeil Alexander-Walker towards the end, which led to a couple of free throws that secured the victory for Minnesota.

People say that we are vulnerable, but the beast is always the strongest or the most dangerous when they’re vulnerable,” Jokic said. “Maybe he woke up the beast.”

Nikola Jokic has been openly frustrated at times this season, but that does not mean the reigning NBA MVP had a direct role in Denver Nuggets head coach

It's been a wild few days for Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets. Amid the jockeying for position in the NBA playoff race, the franchise fired both their head coach Michael Malone and their GM Calvin Booth.

Nikola Jokic had his 32nd triple-double of the season with 20 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists and Denver beat the Sacramento Kings 124-116 on Wednesday night

Interim Denver Nuggets head coach David Adelman had an impossible task on paper in his first game against the Sacramento Kings. Just a day after the Nuggets fired long-time coach Michael Malone — the winningest coach in franchise history and the only one to bring the organization an NBA title so far — Adelman essentially had to keep the Nuggets' entire season from collapsing with just three regular-season games left.

The Denver Nuggets fired head coach Michael Malone and general manager Calvin Booth earlier this week in a move that shocked many. It was well-known around league circles that the coach and GM did not get along and the team hoped that shaking things up this late in the season might inspire a playoff run.
