Friday night’s win by the Thunder over the Nuggets was a very exciting overtime affair that doubled as both a playoff rematch and preview for this year’s postseason gauntlet. It will mostly be remembered, however, for Nikola Jokić’s unexpected display of emotion after a flagrant foul by OKC’s Lu Dort.
In the fourth quarter of the heavyweight clash, Dort appeared to trip Jokić by jutting out his hip and then his leg as both players ran up the floor. Jokić was very unhappy about that and immediately went after the All-NBA defender, sparking a dust-up between the two sides.
