Former Nuggets forward Bruce Brown said he saw a different side of Nikola Jokić during the Western Conference finals series against the Lakers back in May.
The Nuggets came out and swept the Lakers in four games, resulting in the first playoff series win against Los Angeles in Denver’s franchise history.
Though the stakes of the Nuggets attempting to win their first NBA title probably played a part into the intensity of the series, Brown admits he doesn’t really know why that series was “more personal” than the others. But, he knew for sure that Jokić seemed very into this particular series.
