‘Coach’ Nikola Jokic Steps Up, Predicts Final Play of Nuggets’ Close Win Over Sixers

Denver edged Philadelphia 125-124, then survived a final look with 3.9 seconds left. While sidelined by a knee injury, Jokic read the Sixers’ timeout play and told teammates, “It’s Maxey,” pointing out where it was going. Tyrese Maxey got the ball as predicted, drove, and missed a floater at the buzzer, letting the Nuggets escape with the win.
