The Nuggets took care of business at home Tuesday night, beating the Suns 118–102 in Game 5 to take a 3–2 lead in the series, which shifts back to Phoenix on Thursday for Game 6.
Nikola Jokić had a historic triple-double (29 points, 13 rebounds, 12 assists) in the win and had some fun with Shaquille O’Neal about that stat line after the game.
Jokić also had some fun before the game when he playfully gave Suns owner Mat Ishbia a ball to put an end to their rift from that weird moment in Game 4.
