The Denver Nuggets doubled their lead in the series after a dramatic Game 2 win. The Phoenix Suns and Nuggets engaged in a hard-fought and scrappy evening of basketball. It wasn’t the most pretty, but the playoff electricity took it down to the wire. Nikola Jokic would outduel Devin Booker to lead Denver to victory.

After the win, Jokic and his daughter shared a cute moment as she watched her father’s sensational performance from the stands. The short but sweet exchange was enough to win over the fans. The Nuggets succeeded in defending their home court and will now look to take this momentum into Friday for Game 3 in Phoenix.

Nikola Jokic leads the way for a Nuggets win over Kevin Durant’s Phoenix Suns

This series was largely termed to be a battle of offenses. Shockingly, tonight it all came down to the defensive possessions. The Suns rode on the lead with Devin Booker being scorching hot scoring 14 of his 35 in just the third quarter. Jamal Murray wasn’t in his rhythm at this point, so it was up to the two-time MVP to deliver.

The Joker didn’t disappoint. He didn’t waste time asserting himself in the paint. Once he imposed his presence, it was just him and the basket. As the Nuggets went on a tear in the fourth quarter, Nikola Jokic hit the final shot, a dagger to extend the lead to 10. His calm quickly switched to a wild and thunderous roar.
